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?

By the time anybody started giving "smallpox infected blankets" to the
Indians the indigenous population had already been decimated. Sad
fact, Native Americans, North and South, had no immunity--it spread
like crazy.

As for bounties on scalps, I'm not sure what your point is. Where the
Spanish arrived it wasn't scalps, it was hearts, and on a production
line basis.

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.

And how exactly are the English responsible for that?
