Might even be a tad on the low side.
okay, so 600,000 so we have only 1.294 billion to go. Also smallpox was introduced by the Spanish, not the Americans. It would have been introduced to the New World regardless of who found and settled it first, if it was the Arabs or Chinese, all those natives still would have died from Small Pox. 1.3 billion is a stupid number. If people want to criticisize America there is plenty of real criticisms that you can do without having to make stuff up.
