Bruce MacDonaldIs It Possible to Spread Smallpox with Blankets?"In Indian Country, it is an accepted fact that white settlers distributed items, such as blankets contaminated with smallpox and other infectious diseases, aiming to reduce the population of Native people resisting their Manifest Destiny.
