Trail of Tears
New Echota was created in 1970.
The old Cherokee capital of New Echota is located in Gordon county Georgia, currently there is a Federal Park and Historical site there.
The Treaty of New Echota, signed in 1835, was an agreement between the United States government and a small faction of Cherokee leaders, which authorized the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated territory west of the Mississippi River. The treaty was highly controversial and opposed by the majority of the Cherokee people, including their principal chief, John Ross. Despite lacking the support of the broader Cherokee community, the U.S. government ratified the treaty, leading to the tragic events of the Trail of Tears in the late 1830s, where thousands of Cherokee were forcibly relocated, resulting in significant suffering and loss of life.
They were forced to move to New Echota which was in Oklahoma.
The U.S. government found gold on their land and that's how the Trail of Tears started.
