The flu killed the Native Americans because the disease had never introduced to them. When it came to them so suddenly it was deadly. The Native Americans hadn't built up there immune system to be able to defend the diseases that were brought by Christopher Columbus and his crew.

Europeans coming to the Americas brought diseases that the natives were not used to. Since they had never had, or heard of these diseases they did not know how to cure them.
