The Amerindian peoples had never seen horses+white men+guns, and they perceived them as a sort of magical creature with deadly superpowers. They had no way of opposing a weapon that could kill them from a significant distance. The survivors were almost completely wiped off by 2 major European diseases for which the natives had NO antibodies: syphilis and smallpox.
