In 1835 the treaty of New Echota was signed which ceded Cherokee land to the United States. The treaty was negotiated by Major Ridge who claimed he was speaking on behalf of the entire Cherokee nation, but was actually supporting a small fraction. John Ross’s letter to the government states his disgust and non-approval of the treaty or the vacating of the Cherokee land.

Jackson's second annual message was an update on the removal process and how the removal of Native Americans benefits both sides. Andrew Jackson believes that if Native Americans leave their land they will be able to pursue happiness in their own way, and if the Native Americans leave it will put an end to all possible danger of collisions between the authorities of the general and state governments on account of the Native Americans.
