John, this seems to be off topic material.  Some of my family would
question the lack of genocidal intent (yes, I am referring to conscious
genocide practices) in the settling of the US.

And that is truly off topic.  

And my Mother's people include some "Conquistador wannabes..." so I
speak
not from a position of moral superiority but with a consciousness that
all groups have some of that 'fallen nature' as we Presbyterians like to
call it  lurking in the best of us.  

My father always took the stance (he was a Cherokee mix) that no matter
who started it at various times all sides practiced it to their moral
decay.

Even in the GZG time line we have massacres recorded.
