For 3 winters. The invaders lost about 50% the first year to starvation and disease. Another boatload arrived and another 50% died and again the next year. Native Americans taught them how to farm and even helped nurse the survivors back to health. And what did they get in the way of thanks? A 99.99% genocide.
I know that in later years, when the invaders knew more about diseases, they spread them on purpose. And yes the originals were a**holes too. At least attribute the early germ warfare to total ignorance and accidental. They didn’t know it would be so bad for the Natives at that time.

@Teto; Also, Native Americans are in a privileged class of voters who can’t vote because of the latest barrier to voting.

Mr. M2Bulls, this political cartoon is really really excellent. It says everything. And made me shed some tears.
