Detailed explanation-1: -The agreement led to the forced removal of Cherokees from their southeastern homelands to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The Treaty of New Echota gave the Cherokees $5 million and land in present-day Oklahoma in exchange for their 7 million acres of ancestral land.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In 1835, the Cherokee were promised a seat in Congress. They’re still waiting. Ratified in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota led to the forced removal of Cherokee people from their ancestral lands to Indian Territory in the West-a migration known as the Trail of Tears.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since the early 1800s, the Cherokee Nation tried to protect their lands by assimilating into the European-American culture as much as possible. However, when Andrew Jackson became president in 1828, that tactic rapidly changed.
Detailed explanation-5: -Signed on December 29, 1835, the Treaty of New Echota ultimately led to the Cherokee being forcibly relocated from their homelands in the southeastern U.S. to territory west of the Mississippi River.
