(2,208 posts)That DOCUMENTED example was from 1767, the Americans WERE British then. lol You really are getting desperate in your denials, hmmm?
But lets give another example just to put an end to such evasions:
Genocide & Intent Of The Infected Blankets
During the Seminole War the Federal Soldiers used germ warfare weapons,such as leaving small pox infected blankets for the Seminole to take and catch the disease.
This was a tried and true tactic of warfare in the Americas. The British attempted this against Washington's troops at Yorktown and Europeans used germ warfare against native Americans in New England. At Yorktown, the National Park Service explains the role of Slaves as germ warfare weapons in the plaque reproduced here. I guess the incentive for slaves was 'you're free if you go cause small pox among American forces ... if you survive.'

But why bother, people can google small pox blankets and read the numerous stories about it, including some from denialists trying to rewrite history, much as you seemed to have tried here.
Smallpox CAN be spread by infected bedding and apparently it was used as a bio-weapon against Native Americans. You denied blankets could spread smallpox and you were proven wrong.
