Going by the definition on the sheet, none of that is genocidal. The closest thing that comes to the definition would be what happened with the native americans when we were expanding and conquer land was sold and exchanged. While what happened was horrible (for example the Trail of Tears), it was not *genocidal*.

Tame compared to the actual genocide the Native Americans were doing to each other.

I wasn't going to mention any wars they may have fought amongst themselves. I don't really have data for that and the subject of the was the USA doing the thing to other groups.

Just like I didn't mention:
-100m indigenous deaths because of *Europeans* is not a US sin.
-12m Native American deaths...happen? They didn't become immortal.
-35m Slaves brought over is horrible, no one should be enslaved. Only >400k of them came to the USA.
-The American Civil wars 750k deaths was to free the above slaves (among other things). The blood we spilled for that sin.
--Subnote if you want to include Europe: The UK spilled its own blood by outlawing the practice, setting up blockades to stop new slaves and going into a debt that was only payed off in the past decade or two (If memory serves) buying all the slaves' freedom and paying off an African king to *stop the lucrative practice*.
-WWII is something we stayed out of till we were attacked.
-WWII was finished with Fat Man and Little boy to stop a larger amount of deaths, specifically american ones. A high estimate is a bit over 200k dead rather then the estimated potential millions (between American and Japanese).

ITs been a while since I have thought to read about the other conflicts, but I am sure that if the above was wrong or out of context I could find more.
