Africans were exposed to smallpox probably before slavery in their interactions with southern europeans. Spaniards are some sheep fukkers too. So the "Moors" when they did their merchant activities throughout Africa probably spread genetic immunity when reproducing with the local Women in any given region.
And uh no the Europeans were taller and bigger than most indigenous Americans due to difference in diet and nutrition. Especially talking south of the border.
Ultimately the U.S. determined they couldn't afford to lose more Men battling the natives as many were formidable particularly in the West. So they took advantage of disease and sealing off key sources of fresh food and water to starve them out and have them die with diseases infested blankets given to Women and children who were removed from their native lands in other parts of the country.
i''m talking about strength because the natives fought and killed with their hands and home made weapons, unlike the p*ssy europeans using guns and disease.
smarter in a way where they WOULD have won over the europeans in a survivor type hunting war game.
the europeans came through with their heavy metal ways and killed. i'm not talking about diet and nutrition.
plus the first europeans here were TAUGHT their diet and nutrition from the natives.
stop giving them europeans credit for shyt they didnt know but LEARNED.
some natives hated them. some natives like the cherokees accepted them and even went against OTHER tribes and used them as an allie.
you are right to a point. and added some good info, but there is more to what you are trying to explain.
and the smallpox thing was INTENTIONALLY put onto the natives.
where as africans were exposed over time to it. it wasnt intentionally given to them in blankets to sleep with so they would die
