The Letter from Chief John Ross, written in 1836, was a response to the U.S. government's policies regarding the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their ancestral lands. In it, Ross articulated the Cherokee Nation's grievances, emphasizing their rights and the injustices they faced due to the Indian Removal Act. The letter aimed to rally support for the Cherokee cause and to appeal to the moral conscience of the American public and government officials. Ultimately, it served as a powerful testament to the struggle for Native American rights and sovereignty.
