like how those American rebels went on to destroy Indian reservations
through slaughter and starvation

No, by then the Americans were "conquerors" -- again, not to be confused
with "terrorists" -- on their way to capturing the continent.

The reservations came later, after the Indian conquest was complete.

You really should carefully study the fine distinctions between the words
"rebel," "terrorist," "defender," and "conqueror," in the English
language,
as these differences are critically important in any cogent discussion of
world history.

Still does not change the fact that the conquerors operated a policy of
genocide. By modern standards a crime against humanity which would not be
tolerated today.
