BC,
So we didn't use genocide on the Indians?
That's a real stretch on the definition of "genocide."

Most of the reduction in the Native American population was due to disease that was brought to the New World by the white man, but not part of any large-scale plan for biological warfare.

The rest of the killing was mainly due to territorial disputes. Unfortunately for Natives, the white man hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned them.

None of the crimes of the white man should be excused, but to call that "genocide" would be a stretch.
