***gave diseased filled blankets to the indians?***

That is the myth they love to promote. Back in those days no one knew about viruses, and sickness was believed to be caused by BAD AIR, the Evil Eye and witchcraft.

That is why people back then carried fragrant flowers, amulets to absorb the “blast” of the Evil eye and burnt witches.
