Answer: So that the Cherokee could march on with pride.
Explanation:
Chief John Ross was the leader of the Cherokee at a time when the U.S. were looking for ways to evict them from territory that white settlers wanted especially in Georgia.
After a subset of Cherokee leaders signed the Treaty of New Echota with the U.S. government against the wishes and knowledge of majority of the tribe, the U.S. sent General Winfield Scott to remove the Cherokee.
John Ross then convinced General Scott to allow the Cherokee to continue without the US army so to march on with pride.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ('XIV Amendment') is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.
The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), who had excluded slaves and their descendants, from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the Brown v. Case. Board of Education.
