Actually most of the Native Americans were wiped out by the plague, introduced by Europeans but long before any immigration was occurring or the United States was even dreamed of (the estimates are somewhere between 20 million and 70 million, similar to the numbers attributed to Stalin).
So while the immigrants to the Americas did not treat the Native population well and there are definitely examples of horrendous acts against the Native population in our history, the immigrants were not directly responsible for the annihilation that you are attributing to them.
As far as accomplishments, the accomplishments of native Americans were plenty. Without the American Indian populations (South and North) you would not have corn, tomatoes or potatoes amongst others.
