Question

Were those who wanted the cherokees' land influenced by the fact that the cherokee signers the 1835 treaty had acted illegally?

Answer 1

What do you think? What impact did the 1835 treaty, never ratified or accepted by either side, have on the act of 1830 and the 1836 decision?

Answer 2

Well, to be clear, a modified version of the treaty was accepted and ratified by the U.S. Senate the next year, exchanging land in Georgia and other states for land west of the Mississippi, with a grace period of two years before the Cherokee had to leave for the Indian Territory.
