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.
The Trail of tears was when Cherokee Indians were forced to move into Indian territory or present-day Oklahoma.
It was a march in which the United States Government forced Native Americans to relocate approximately 1500 miles from their homes. Approximately 1/3 of the Native Americans on the march died due to the elements and lack of food and water. Native American tribes that moved later settled in Oklahoma, Texas and other western states. Why were these Native Americans relocated? Why at this time in history? What were their options if they did not want to move? Was this a federal mandated relocation? How did the idea of relocating these people originate? Who opposed this? What were the advantages and disadvantages for the Native Americans who made this move? An unbiased research project should answer these questions and initiate additional questions.

Trail of Tears
Japanese Americans had to be forced out from their homes, cities and businesses and sent to relocation camps.
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.
The Trail of Tears is the name given to the forced relocation of Native American nations from parts of the Southeastern United States. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 began the forced removal. About 125,000 native Americans were forced to move. More than 35% died on the way. The words "Trail of Tears" was given by those who witnessed this but the people themselves remained silent. The Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations were driven from their homeland to Indian Territory (present-day eastern Oklahoma). The time involved was from the winter of 1831-1837. Many died on the Trail from disease and mistreatment as they had to walk. As a nation we pretty much pushed the native Americans further and further west until there was no place to go. In1907 Oklahoma became a state and Indian territory was gone for good.
The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of Native Americans from their homelands to Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States. The phrase originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831. Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their destinations, and many died, including, for example, 4,000 of the 15,000 relocated Cherokee.
