Most American Aborigines died of European illnesses, not deliberate warfare or genocide.

However, there is a valid point: The United States did treat the Aborigines with extreme brutality and cruelty. Treaties were broken before the ink was dry.

There have been two extremely evil policies that the United States was guilty of:

1. Slavery

2. Mistreatment of the Aborigines
