Question

This excerpt is from a speech by Major Ridge to his fellow Cherokees in support of the 1835

Answer 1

Based on the excerpt and the historical records, the native people, that is, Cherokee Nation were forcefully removed from their ancestral land.

Treaty of New Echota

The Treaty of New Echota was initially signed by the United States and some minority known as Treaty Party in the Cherokee Nation in 1835.

While most of the Cherokee Nation did not support and agree with the Treaty, the United States government forcefully removed the Cherokee Nation from their land, Southeast of Georgia to the West where the Native Indian lives.

The Cherokee Nation was later forcefully removed in what was known as the Trail of Tears between 1836 to 1839.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the Cherokee Nation were forced to move from present-day Georgia to present-day Oklahoma.
