Which millions exactly? There were only ~600,000 Native Americans in what is now the USA in 1800, Europeans had killed all the others through various wars and disease.
If you actually look at the casualties from the 1800's Indian wars the grand total is <40,000. Some died of starvation or poor conditions, but the vast majority died from incidental exposure to small pox and measles just like when the Europeans exposed the natives when they arrived.
And they're still less than 1% of the population, with no traceable mixture with Europeans like in Latin America
What do you mean by that?
It's pretty clear
No not really
