The primary aim of Burnett's letter was (A) to share his experiences in the U.S. Army, highlighting the mistreatment of the Cherokee tribe.
Clarification:
In 1830, during the Jackson administration, the Cherokee tribe was coerced into relocating to western territories as outlined in the Treaty of New Etocha. This was done to repurpose the southern lands for the white populace, with Chief Ross being the leader of the Cherokee who resided in Georgia. The chief sent a letter to "the Senate and House of Representatives" to oppose the Treaty of New Etocha.
The entire forced relocation of the Cherokee is referred to as the “Trail of Tears.”
Federal troops compelled the Cherokee to march 1,000 miles to the western territories. During this journey, between 4,000 and 6,000 Cherokees perished as a consequence of this displacement. This ordeal is commonly known as “the Trail of Tears” or “the Trail where They Cried.”
