Most Cherokee no longer trusted the white man, white government (The USA or its Citizens), some Cherokee lead war parties against any US Citizen they could find.

Also, the tribe was split in two...the faction that agreed or was forced to move to new lands outside the then boundaries of the United States (most of the Cherokees), and the faction that refused to go and fled to the mountains to hide and escape the forced relocation.

In addition, the Cherokee leaders who were educated in American law filed suit against the U.S. government, and after many years in court, the Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee people were a separate nation and their laws and rights should have been respected. The U.S. government paid reparations to the surviving "official" members of the Cherokee Nation in both Oklahoma and North Carolina.

The outcome of the Trail of Tears is that 4,000 Cherokee died, 3000 Seminoles, 3,500 Chickasaw, and somewhere between 2,500 and 6,000 Choctaw died. The tribes were sent to Oklahoma and their way of life drastically changed.
