I did not say that. I said most died from disease. If you have a reference that all those 50 million in North America were murdered by Europeans, and a minority were deaths from disease, please cite it. Many of those who survived the pandemics (and their descendents) became victims of genocide.
But by then, the population had been greatly reduced.
