Actually, there is apparently a recent hypothesis about the Indian population

they all died off very quickly when European diseases took root. As a
f'rinstance, when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth rock, they found evidence
that people had been living there, but nobody was around, 'cause they'd all
died off.

Mind you, I haven't made up my mind on this matter, yet. I want to see some
more data. But the European diseases were extremely deadly to the Indians.

As for being PC, trust me, I'm not.
