I think you missed my entire point. In a nutshell, Indians were doomed no matter what, so I have no guilt what so ever for their demise. It was in the cards, and there was nothing anybody could have done about it. Columbus could have landed on Hispaniola with flowers in his hair and gave everybody he met a hug, and still 90% of the natives would have dropped dead within a few years of diseases native to Eurasia.

Or the contact didn’t happen until modern medicine and vaccines were invented.

Either way, fate was not kind to them.
