By having people who claimed to be "Cherokee" sign a treaty, and then having the courts say it didn't matter that they had no authority to sign it in the name of the Cherokee Nation - but you have to move anyway. The president then signed the removal act and forced them to move under the threat of death, then gave away or sold the land to Americans.
No. The federal government had no right to take any Native American land.
State governments especially Georgia had whites that hated the Cherokee and wanted their land. They pressured the federal government to take land titles from the Indians and remove the Indians.

Because it was their land. Why should the settlers who were invading Cherokee territory be given priority over the Native Americans? The United States immorally, unethically and illegally removed the Cherokee from their land because the federal government was more powerful and could force the issue.

The discussions between Cherokee chiefs and U.S. government officials in Washington, D.C., likely revolved around issues of sovereignty, land rights, and the impacts of U.S. expansion on Native American communities. These meetings would have highlighted the tension between the Cherokee's desire for self-determination and the government's push for assimilation and territorial control. The dialogues possibly reflected a complex interplay of negotiation, resistance, and the struggle for recognition of the Cherokee people's rights amidst growing pressures from settlers and policymakers.
The U.S. government found gold on their land and that's how the Trail of Tears started.

Because they eventually started stealing land from the Cherokees. Answer 2: ________________________________________________ The treaty of New Echota was intended to steal land from the Cherokee, even though the treay before that one promised that the US Government would not take any more land. The Cherokee tribe refused to sign the treaty, so the US Government asked a few US Citizens to sign it on behalf of the tribe (for money) and they did. The US Supreme Court found that the treaty was invalid; but that did not stop the government from taking the land anyway.
The U.S. government initially recognized the Cherokee Constitution, which was adopted in 1827, as a legitimate document that established the Cherokee Nation as a sovereign entity. However, this recognition was short-lived, as tensions grew over land rights and state encroachment. In subsequent years, the government increasingly disregarded the constitution, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee people during the Trail of Tears in the late 1830s, which violated the rights outlined in their constitution. Ultimately, the government's response was one of oppression and displacement rather than respect for Cherokee sovereignty.
