Missy the indians didn't have the same immune system as the europeans ergo they were more apt to have a tough time with small pox, etc. so maybe there were times the indians just got sick just because...I'm not saying the europeans never had the intention of doing evil to the indians, I'm just saying they probably killed their fair share without even trying.
Also I think it's a pretty fair assumption that if the indians had better weapons they would have killed off more Europeans and perhaps even gotten them out of the America's all together. I believe the vikings were held off by the indians.
I don't feel guilty about what happened with the Indians because I wasn't there, I had no part in it. Maybe I seem callous, but when hostile takeovers and "total war' were the norm of the day the plight of the north american indian is no different than the plight of many other indiginous peoples of that era.
