Historians agree the smallpox was carried up the Missouri River to Fort Clark in June 1837 by passengers on Captain Bernard Platte’s American Fur Company steamboat. The St. Peters was making its annual voyage delivering goods to the company trading post along the river. Joshua Pilcher, the Indian Bureau’s sub agent got off the boat at Fort Kiowa, prior to its arrival at Fort Clark. He penned a letter to his boss, William Clark, saying there were some passengers carrying the disease, including three Arikara women. The three got off the boat at Fort Clark and joined their people living nearby. That evening there was a party at the Mandan village, attended by several people from the St. Peters. There would have been mixing and mingling among the infected and the non-infected. One must wonder why Captain Platte didn’t quarantine those who were sick and why did he refused to quarantine the afflicted passengers. One assumes he didn’t want any delays preventing him from keeping his schedule.

There is a preponderance of evidence that the disease was spread human to human rather than infected blankets.

A reminder that while whites get hate for these diseases rampaging through Indian populations, smallpox originated in India and killed millions of whites before our ancestors developed cures and preventions

Meanwhile now we are the niggers and theyre using that capacity to develope cures and supressed the preventions we have to kill us.

That can't be right. Schlomo Finklestein-Rubenberg of totallylegitfactchecking.Com (a subsidiary of CNN) said that the evil Europeans gave every single native American infinity infected blankets. He said if you need proof, you are an anti semetic Holocaust denier.

The Noble Savage strikes again. Amazing how the evidence of widespread human sacrifice and cannibalism across the Americas is covered up as well.

Another thing that is seldom discussed is the fact that the fossil record shows that there were already people living in the Americas before the "Indians" arrived. Apparently they wiped these people off the face of the earth. What goes around comes around!

Twenty years ago an article came out stating historians were unable to find any proof for the smallpox blanket claims and concluded that it was wartime propaganda

What do you think historians in 100 years will say about the magic wu flu?

[–] • 3 pts

There won't be any historian in 100 years given the current trends, we're going full retard

During the cold war it was crazyshit, but it was rational, it was you push that button I push mine, and you're a bunch of commie assholes fuck you. And commies replied fuck you too you racist piece of shit.

And that was it. You got regional conflicts and wars by proxy, but that was it

But today, it's batshit insane, it's completely one sided gay, the US gov is busy fucking everybody in the ass the US population included, and dogs too

I mean fuck, during the cold war at least it made sense

Today it's nonsensical amateur hour every hour

I remember when documents were produced to prove the conspiracy. All of the materials, the paper, the ink, and the pen used to write the words, were all of modern manufacture. The whole thing was shown to be a forgery.

Brown "people" doing what brown "people" do best - raping, murdering, and pillaging. How fucking typical.

Just as I've always said, the "smallpox-infected blankets" were never purposely given to the fucking savages. Use your heads people, how could the alledged perpetrators give the blankets to the savages WITHOUT GETTING IT THEMSELVES.

Brown "people" ARE the problem. Brown "people" HAVE ALWAYS BEEN the problem. Spread the word.

Wait till your hear the TRUE history of "slavery". I'll say this - if you think niggers don't LIE, you're sadly mistaken.

The anecdote may be true on the blankets, but the author gets the noble savage idea's origin and original use wrong. It's an older idea dating back to how the new world was (more or less) advertised to the old. Feels like overlooking that means the author is going to overlook other details.

This is making the rounds because the myth was recently perpetuated in the terrible Yellowstone prequel series, 1883.

does it really matter .. white man diseases kill billions in south america

I thought document(s) proved the government sent infected blankets?

The idea was floated around, but there's negligible evidence that it was carried out or would even work.

The myth is based on a letter some dude wrote, sayin 'we should totes do this, lol'

Ayep. It's a hysterically low level of proof. Some guy having an unfeasible idea is akin to claiming the Nazis have a moonbase because Werner von Braun sketched out some hypothetical spacecraft which he never built.
