In 1838, the Blackfeet were decimated by small pox spread intentionally by U.S. troops using infected blankets. We were the first target of biological warfare in world history. No flames, please...
...but the (limited) information I had indicated that stories of infected blankets by the US were the fevered imagination of Ward Churchill...
although they had in fact been used by the French.
Do you have any documentation for this claim?
Cheers!
Click the link below and read very deep into the link. There are more links on the link. You also may Goooogle it for yourself ("Blackfoot + smallpox blankets"). When my son was in college on the east coast he met relatives of the men who planned the smallpox blanket scenario. They apologized profusely. But that does not make up for the genocide, now does it?
