I think there is miscommunication in that you're citing deaths by direct violence, which yes, were probably not in the millions. It should be noted though that the 14k figure referenced above is only referring to a 40 year period of battles in the Western US, not anywhere close to the full colonial/expansion period or range of conflicts. It's also based only on US Army estimates rather than corroborated elsewhere.
