Generally far less discriminant on what was attacked. Basically, if you new insurgents were held up on a particular village, you just kill the whole village and burn it all to the ground. If you didn't kill the insurgents in the process, at the very least their supply source in that area is gone. Armies weren't exactly held to massively high standards when it came to humane treatment and such.

I'm pretty sure that it's American actuality from the 1500's to when everyone got rid of all the natives and/or colonial powers.

Napoleon's counter to guerrillas in the peninsular war was more guerrillas.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

They died out because of smallpox. Americans just generally like cleancut stories of good v evil and chess like battles when that doesn't happen

Nah. It was losing horribly and devoted most of its army in Spain to just guarding its supply lines.
