Detailed explanation-1: -In December 1835 the Treaty of New Echota, signed by a small minority of the Cherokee, ceded to the United States all Cherokee land east of the Mississippi River for $5 million. The overwhelming majority of tribal members repudiated the treaty and took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -By July the Cherokees were defeated, and they negotiated a treaty, which was signed in Charleston on September 23, 1761. By these treaty terms, both Cherokees and colonists agreed to exchange captives.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Cherokee Nation has been associated with the British since 1674 when they exchanged deerskins and other furs for European trade goods. In 1712 they allied with the British and sent 200 warriors against the Tuscarora Indians.
Detailed explanation-5: -Their economic partnership eventually evolved into a military alliance, with the Cherokee aiding British forces in 1712 in battle against the Tuscarora. At the outbreak of the French and Indian War in 1754, Cherokees once again fought alongside the British, working largely to protect the southern Appalachian Mountains.
