What they got was a forced march to the Oklahoma Territory, caused the Trail of Tears where many of the Cherokee died on the trek to the Oklahoma territory. It was a really bad move on Andrew Jackson's part our 7th President of the United States.

Jaksa Chula Harjo is the Cherokee Indian name for the American President, Andrew Jackson. The man recognized as doing the most harm to the Cherokee Nation.
President Andrew Jackson was the official who approved of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. There were five major tribes: the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Cherokee challenged the Indian Removal Act in the courts of the United States. It made its way up to the Supreme Court where it went under the supervision of John Marshall. He ruled the favor to the Cherokee. Note the Supreme Court could make the ruling but cannot enforce it, only the executive branch (the president) has the power to do so. The president at that time, Andrew Jackson ignored the decision of the Supreme Court and stilled removed the Indians from their land.
It is known as "The Trail of Tears", where Cherokee Native Americans, among others, though mostly Cherokee, were forced to move to Indian Territory, which is modern day East Oklahoma.
They continued to lose land promised to them.
