Thanksgiving during a viral pandemic is as good a time as any to review the history of how native Americans were treated by European illegal immigrants.
The native people saved their illegal aliens by showing the lazy and incompetent British how to plant corn and hunt deer.
The British illegal aliens turned around and declared biological war.
Ever hear the story about “smallpox blankets”?
It’s true.
The fellow intentionally spreading disease to native Americans was a British General by the name of Lord Jeffrey Amherst — the fellow Amherst College and the town of Amherst, Massachusetts are named after.
In a letter to General Amherst on July 13, 1763, Colonel Henry Bouquet suggests the distribution of smallpox blankets to "inocculate the Indians" with disease.
Amherst’s reply of July 16, 1763 approves the plan and suggests as well they “try Every other method that can serve to Extirpate this Execrable Race."
These same letters discuss the use of dogs to hunt and kill the Indians, the so-called "Spaniard's Method” detailed in a previous Columbus Day post.
Amherst approves of the practice of using giant dogs to terrorize, kill, and eat Indians, but says he cannot implement it because there are simply not enough dogs.
