Your first source

It says the North American Indian tribes may have been reduced by disease by as much as 75%!

It also says that the war may have been started BECAUSE the Indians suspected the colonists deliberately spread these diseases (more than one kind). Which means it was the Indians that were the aggressors

And it says these diseases spread before the Colonization began.

Clearly from what I have posted and this book you recommended, the Indians had been decimated numerically by disease prior to the Colonization.

The Indians blamed the Colonists and grew aggressive towards them.

War broke out between the tribes and the European colonists.

The Colonists were better at warfare.

That is not genocide. It's SUICIDE. It was suicide for a tribe to have been decimated by disease, know how strong the Colonists were militarily and then go against them in battle
