Detailed explanation-1: -In this letter, Jackson writes to the Cherokee Nation urging them to give up the fight for their homeland. Jackson argues that the Cherokee people will be much better off if they remove to land west of the Mississippi River. He expresses the hope that they will accept the advice that he claims to give them as a friend.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jackson declared that removal would “incalculably strengthen the southwestern frontier.” Clearing Alabama and Mississippi of their Indian populations, he said, would “enable those states to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power."
Detailed explanation-3: -The treaty set terms for the removal of Cherokees east of the Mississippi River from their land in the Southeast to Indian Territory, part of modern-day Oklahoma. The treaty had been negotiated by a minority party, while the majority of the Cherokee people considered it to be fraudulent.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Cherokee were against this idea for many reasons. The land was unknown and unfamiliar to them. There were other Indian tribes living there already, so if the Cherokee moved in, they would be seen as intruders. The new area also did not have a large supply of wood and water.
