Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Major Ridge believed a new treaty would at least pay the Cherokee for their land before they lost everything by force. Major Ridge lived his Cherokee culture through its practices and language. He believed the culture would be conserved if they moved west and destroyed if they stayed.
Detailed explanation-2: -John Ridge was born to the Cherokee chief Major Ridge and his wife Sehoya around 1802 in their village of Oothacaloga, near present-day Calhoun, Georgia. The Cherokee were a matrilineal tribe, so he was considered to belong to the Wild Potato Clan through his mother, Sehoya (Susannah Catherine Wickett).
