None of what you said refutes my first point. All your points are valid, just missing broader context. 'Native American' history didn't begin when Europeans arrived. Seems to all boil down to, people A did X bad things to people B thus people A are responsible for demise of people B, while ignoring everything else that occurred with people A - who by the way are only viewed as A by people B.

In this case, people A are responsible for most of the demise of people B, surely. I don't deny that history education should be improved on these matters, instead of choosing a villain and a victim, but your view is not much better.

no that's simply not correct or backed up by any historical data. as the saying goes "it's easy to fool someone but hard to convince someone they've been fooled"

		Perhaps you should qualify your claims, because disease and war by Europeans to the indigenous peoples had a significant death toll and negative impact (e.g. forced migration or cultural reeducation).
