Actually that was the Spanish that started all that. By the time the
British arrived small pox, syphilis, and broken promises were well
established. The slavery part the indigenous population had already
figured out on their own.


So it was the Spanish given smallpox infected blankets to the Indians
and paying bounties on scalps?

And you think thats a good thing?

Well..you did give my people "scalping" for which We are forever
grateful


And the Spanish put an end to that whole human sacrifice thing.


By baptizing the lot of them, then setting them on fire.
