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.
you got my dna or are you making a generalization about cape verdeans?
