Why did many native tribes suffer after the Revolution?

DISCLAIMER:THIS IS VERY OVERSIMPLIFIED one of the many reasons why Native American Tribes suffered after the Revolution is Disease . Especially the smallpox virus .For example the Cherokee. Nearly all the population of the Cherokee tribe was wiped out because of the smallpox epidemic that took place. The source of this epidemic however, was the Europeans. When the Europeans came to the so called ''New world'', they brought the smallpox virus with them, through trade with the native tribes. Unlike the Europeans, the natives were not accustomed to this and the epidemic struck. This is one of the many ways this question can be interpreted.
