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

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?
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.
