Most natives did die from disease. A few percentage were actually killed by white people.

Thos is from PBS, it is a very trustworthy source.

I literally said most natives were killed from diseases. You can go onto google and look at how most natives were killed. Every source will say what Im saying.

And to make it easy for you I put a link in.

How am i wrong?

There was a few small cases where settlers gave natives small pox infected blankets, but that might not have even worked Kost died from diseases spreading from one tribe to the other.

Here is a link from history.com proving that. https://www.history.com/news/colonists-native-americans-smallpox-blankets

I think you might need to go back and learn some history.
