Not NEARLY everyone my dear friend, but according to the Bible, every single person who has issued from the loins of Adam have inherited his sin and the death penalty that comes with it, For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God, and all must die the first death and pay the blood price demanded for that inherited sin.
As to your question do you think that the Canaanites were deserving of death for the sin that they had committed, you must first understand what that sin was. Following, is a previous post of mine that I had saved in My Documents.
Shem, the younger brother of Ham the first born son of Noah and the father of Canaan, was given the blessing of first born which should have been received by his elder brother, “Ham.” The scriptures tell us that Noah had begun his family after he had turned 500, If it had been after he turned 510, the bible would have stated that, if it was after Noah had turned 505, the bible would have said so, If it were after Noah turned 502, this would have been revealed in scripture , but no! The Bible tells us that it was after Noah turned 500 that he began his family.
Genesis 8: 4; On the seventeenth day of the seventh month of the six hundredth year of Noah, the boat came to rest on a mountain in the Ararat range, showing that Noah who began his family just after he turned 500, was six hundred years old when the flood came to its finish. Genesis 11: 10; These are the descendants of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old etc. here, the scriptures reveal to you that, Shem was born when Noah was 502.
Genesis 10: “Shem the older brother of Japheth, was the ancestor of all Hebrews.” Knowing from God’s word, that Japheth was the younger brother of Shem, and being assured by the scriptures that Shem was born when Noah was 502, and that Noah began his Family after he turned 500; by using your God given brain you should have deduced from all this, that Ham was the first born son of Noah.
When Noah divided the Land among his three sons, Shem received the middle portion, from the delta of the of the river of Egypt, north to Lebanon and south to India, while Ham received the land of Africa to the south, and Japheth received the land to the north of Lebanon, which according to the book of Jubilees 8: 30; It is said that the Land of Japheth included the five great islands and a great land in the north. But it is cold, and the land of Ham is Hot, and the land of Shem (The middle son) is neither hot nor cold, but it is of blended cold and heat.
The sons of Noah then divided their portion of land among their sons, and it is written in Jubilees 9: 14; “And thus the sons of Noah divided unto their sons in the presence of Noah their father, and he bound them all by an oath, imprecating a curse on everyone who sought to seize the portion that had not fallen to him by lot. And they all said, ‘So be it; so be it,’ for themselves and for their sons for ever throughout their generations til the day of judgement, etc.”
Then in chapter 10: 29; we read; “And Canaan saw the land of Lebanon to the river Egypt, that it was very good, and he went not into the land of his inheritance to the west (That is to) the sea, and he dwelt in the land of Lebanon, eastward and westward from the border of the Jordan and from the border of the sea. And Ham his father, and Cush and Mizraim, his brothers said unto him: ‘Thou hast settled in a land which is not thine, and which did not fall to us by lot: do not do so; for if thou dost do so, thou and thy sons will fall in the land and be accursed through sedition; for by sedition ye have settled; and by sedition will thy children fall, and thou shalt be rooted out forever, etc.
So as you can see, they are to be held responsible for their own deaths
