You're point is generally valid. Though there is some debate over one instance in which blankets infected with smallpox may have been intentionally passed to the American Indians. Some claim that the Army officer who passed the blankets on was unaware of what he was doing. It's hard to find examples of where the white man did anything other than attempt to exterminate the American Indians. Reservations were not prime property and tribes were relocated to territories that they were unfamiliar with. Tell me all the "happy stories" about what happened to the American Indian. jttmab
