The Choctaws initially resisted the removal proposal, expressing their opposition through petitions and appeals to the federal government. However, facing increasing pressure and the threat of violence, many eventually felt compelled to comply. In 1830, the Choctaw leadership signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which facilitated their forced removal to Indian Territory, leading to significant suffering during the journey known as the Trail of Tears. Overall, their reaction was a mix of resistance and eventual resignation to the pressures of U.S. policy.
