Cherokee Leaders Contributing to Removal

Cherokee is an Indian tribe that is believed to have lived in this land all his life. No one really knows whether this is true, but Cherokee survived hunting and agriculture for several years. The US government considers Cherokee Indians to be undeveloped. President Washington civilized them and decided to contact the Cherokee to help them survive. Washington proposed different agricultural methods that Cherokee can help enjoy trade.

There was a fierce argument about whether the Cherokee Indians should not be removed from the lands they live in. The general white consensus is to seek layoff, Cherokee is opposed to dismissals, but people who oppose their group's decision are on both sides. The Cherokee Indians have moved from their hometowns because they can not live alone in their lifestyle.

In 1830, the Congress passed the "India Exile Bill" which was the stage for the compulsory expulsion of Cherokee and infamous people. In 1835, a small unauthorized group of about 100 Cherokee leaders (called Treaty Party) returned all Oklahoma Cherokee territory to the Oklahoma and signed the new Echota Treaty (Georgia) landed in the northeast . Cherokee Chief John Ross petitioned the Senate to refuse ratification of the illegal treaty by gathering over 15,000 signatures representing almost the entire Cherokee country. However, the Senate approved the treaty in a single vote in 1836. With this treaty, the Cherokee left the mountain house for two years and was able to enter the state of Oklahoma.

After the establishment of the Indian expulsion law in 1830, the Cherokee resisted the immigration to Oklahoma. After all, President Andrew Jackson persuaded the Cherokee leaders to sign the agreement "New Ekota Treaty". By signing the treaty, they agreed to trade five million dollars in the land of Oklahoma. However, many Cherokee leaders do not agree to the treaty. They petitioned Congress and asked them to leave them on their land. General Scott and his soldiers put Cherokee in a big prison called Stoccade. In many cases Cherokee is not allowed to collect their property before being put into camp. During the summer several groups had to start marching in Oklahoma. However, many people die from high temperatures and diseases. The rest was held in the camp until autumn
