John Burnett was invited to participate in the removal of the Cherokee, known as the Trail of Tears, because he served as a soldier in the U.S. Army during the forced relocation. His involvement was part of a broader military effort to enforce the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to displace Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. Burnett later became an important witness to the suffering and hardships endured by the Cherokee during this tragic event, documenting his experiences and contributing to historical accounts of the removal.
