Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The Treaty of New Echota aimed to lay down the terms by which the Cherokee Nation in its entirety, would give up their territories and move west into indian territory.
In December of 1835, Major Ridge and a minor portion of Cherokee leaders signed the treaty, overpassing the authorization of Cherokee Chief John Ross. After that, it was signed by President Jackson and passed in U.S. Senate.
Ridge and his folk willfully gave up their land and moved west, while Ross and many other opponents of the treaty stayed and fought. In the end, the U.S. military expelled all Cherokees from the territory, resulting in the death of over 4000 of them during combat.
Later on, Ross' followers murdered Major Ridge and other signers of the treaty in indian territory, revenging the Cherokee tragedy.
