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."
