It wasn't just the North that America fucked over. The US military set-up the hard-line anti-Communist Rhee Syngman as the first president (dictator, really) of the Republic of Korea. Before and during the war he ordered mass killings of political dissidents. The Jeju Massacre was one such event. One incident where Americans directly killed civilians was the Nogeun-ri Massacre. Tens to hundreds of thousands of lives lost due to American influence.
