First, no, anyone that participated, or didn't speak out against it was culpable.

Or should I just say that only a few in power had any real control, so it was OK to just look the other way?

That said, the USA did not kill millions of natives. Thousands, yes. Millions, no. Millions may have died after first contact with the Spaniards (then brits and French) from disease. Numbers are hard to nail down, some cited are ridiculously high. Still, those people would have died even had the conquistadors really been "explorers" and just looked around and left. The damage was done thanks to bacteria and viruses. By the time the USA was starting to be settled, the native populations had already been more than decimated.

Slavery. Totally wrong from the start. To be fair, the enslavement itself was done by other africans (and was well before there were european buyers around). They were then bought by scumbags in the US. A lot of Americans with no real personal interest in the practice died to end it, for what that is worth, though.

I didn't say modern Germany was culpable in nazi crimes, I said German soldiers were "nazis" as far as I was concerned since they fought to prolong the Reich, and hence everything bad it stood for. Any German who was happy or proud when Poland, France or anywhere else fell is no better—that leaves little of the population left to be "anti-nazi."
