the slaughter of Native Americans by whites in the 15th and 16th centuries

That would be from 1400 to 1599. If we start with Columbus' landing in 1492 that means 56 million Indians were killed in a period of 108 years. That works out to 1,420 Indians a day. Those guys were pretty busy, I'd say.

Just ridiculous and this is a university? 1400 killed per day, preposterous.

It was NOT a slaughter or deliberate genocide, the white man brought the European disease to the Americas via tainted blankets and other things — SMALL POX for instance.

And yet it didn't prevent the Cherokees from impregnating so many white women that 99 percent of Americans today can claim that they are "part-Cherokee."
