What percentage of the population of the land that is now the US did they represent when Europeans first started colonies there?

From the CCP's perspective, would a similar decline in percentage be desirable?

From our historical view of the US, are the actions that got us here praiseworthy?

To be fair, a majority of the native population died due to the Europeans inadvertently introducing Smallpox. While I agree with your argument as a whole, I would advise against trying to use numerical arguments for Europe's treatment of the natives.

Not always inadvertently, perhaps:

Although that article says that "there’s only one clearly documented instance of a colonial attempt to spread smallpox", the fact that there is any "clearly documented instance" of such an attempt is pretty horrific.

I interpreted their argument to mean that the Native Americans were 100% of the American population before Europeans arrived.
