They didn't. If they had, there would be no Indians to talk about.

Europeans coming to North America way back then brought with them diseases that were quite common -- and ineffectual -- in Europe, where immunities had developed, but deadly in the New World. Yes, there were times when, for example, US Army soldiers were shooting and killing AmerIndians wholesale. But the real slaughter took place on the microbial level.

AmerIndians were helplessly susceptible to diseases carried by European "invaders." Smallpox was especially deadly, but other "minor" diseases like measles and chicken-pox were killers as well.

Was North America was uninhabited when the first Europeans arrived?

No, they were actually inhabited by tribes of Indians! Indians would later teach them how to farm and live in the area. Many theories have came up as to the Indians deaths, however the most likely reason is disease (Europeans were not used to the new land and surroundings and were not immune to what the Indians had, and Indians were not immune to what the Europeans had).
