 | | In his American Holocaust and Survival: A Population History Since 1492 (1987), Russell Thornton devotes a chapter to the "definition and enumeration of American Indians." Naturally, who counts as an American Indian is important in estimating the sizes of Native American populations. |
 | | In the era of the American Revolution (also known as the War of Independence, etc.), the British in America split up to some fair extent into British (Loyalists or Royalists)) and Americans (rebels, or as the winners say, patriots), along with those who were neutral, undecided, wavering, or with divided loyalties. |
 | | But, she says, the closest parallel in recent times to the destruction in the United States of its indigenous population of Native Americans is the extermination of Jews, Romanies (gypsies), Slavs and others under the Nazis in Germany from the 1930s to the middle 1940s, in what is commonly know now simply as the Holocaust. |
