what year ..and where... and by who ?
Small pox infested blankets given to the indians..1800 ?
The High Plains smallpox epidemic of 1837 has been analyzed by numerous historians. None of the previous histories have indicated any U.S. Army presence in the vicinity, much less any military involvement in genocide. None have mentioned a word about a boatload of blankets shipped from a military smallpox infirmary in St. Louis. None have mentioned any medical personnel as even being present in the vicinity, much less deliberately violating quarantine by sending infected Indians out among the healthy population..☺

Reply:It was a common practice and while you are asking about Indians in was a common practice through the Colonial times in Africa, South America and the Caribbean. Mostly by thew British but others powers such as Spain and France. In the States it started with fur trading riding the area of competition and hostiles right up to the late 1700's. Sad, huh? God Bless You and Our Southern People.
