On September 28, 1836, the Cherokee leader Chief John Ross wrote a letter of protest to the Senate and House of
Representatives. The letter argued against the Treaty of New Echota, which required Cherokees to relocate to Indian
Territory.

Read this excerpt from the letter:

And now it is presented to us as a treaty, ratified by the Senate, and approved by the President [Andrew Jackson), and our [acceptance] in its requirements demanded ... [The treaty comes to us, not through our legitimate authorities, the known and usual medium of communication between the Government of the United States and our nation, but
through the agency of a complication of powers, civil and military. By [this treaty], we are [stripped] of our private possessions, ... We are stripped of every attribute of freedom and eligibility for legal self-defence. Our property may be (taken] before our eyes; violence may be committed on our persons, even our lives may be taken away, and there is none to regard our complaints. We are denationalized; we are disfranchised. We are deprived of membership in the human family! We have neither land nor home, nor resting place that can be called our own.
According to Ross, what rights did the Treaty of New Echota violate?

The Treaty of New Echota was signed on this day in 1835 ceding Cherokee land to the U.S. in exchange for compensation. Without authorization from Cherokee Chief John Ross, Ridge and a few other Cherokee signed the Treaty of New Echota and agreed to removal west of the Mississippi in exchange for $5 million dollars.

Answer:

Ross emphasized that the Treaty of New Echota stripped the Native Americans of their basic freedoms and their right to defend their land and possessions. The government abused its power to remove the Native Americans from their homelands. Ross felt that they were not only getting removed from their homes, but their lives were also being threatened. They could not even rely on the government to help them. The social inequality in the country deprived them of “membership in the human family.”
