Explanation:

Chief John Ross was the leader of the Cherokee at a time when the U.S. were looking for ways to evict them from territory that white settlers wanted especially in Georgia.

After a subset of Cherokee leaders signed the Treaty of New Echota with the U.S. government against the wishes and knowledge of majority of the tribe, the U.S. sent General Winfield Scott to remove the Cherokee.
