removal didn’t end in 1830, but rather was fought for many years after. One person that continued the fight against the removal was John Ross. John Ross continued for years after to find alternatives to the removal. “He suggested alternatives to removal including the extension of United States citizenship to the Cherokees remaining in the East and their acceptance of fair state laws.” (Perdue and Green 153). Ross eventually sought the help from the writer Howard Payne to write against the removal. In which he stated that the Cherokee people never have and never will accept the Treaty of New Echota, and that they have rejected the treaty three times. Also, the government hadn’t fulfilled that what had been promised in the treaty. For example, the land that was promised turned into Arkansas. Howard Payne stressed that the Cherokee must fight with their reason. (Perdue and Green 159). While most Americans supported the Cherokee Removal, many white people supported the Cherokee and their battle against the removal. One of the earliest supporters was Jeremiah Evarts, who believed that the removal was unconstitutional because the Cherokee were a sovereign nation and cannot be forced off of their lands. Women’s rights groups were also very supportive and believed that the Natives had been helpful to the whites and deserved to be treated right. John Ross and Howard Payne fought for the Cherokees rights and the dishonesty of the treaty of New Echota. In conclusion, the fight against…
