it divided the Cherokees
The Treaty of New Echota became known as the agreement that facilitated the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States, leading to the Trail of Tears. Signed in 1835 by a small faction of the Cherokee, it was opposed by the majority of the tribe and resulted in significant suffering and loss of life during the 1838 relocation. The treaty is often viewed as a controversial and tragic chapter in U.S. history regarding Native American rights and sovereignty.
Pickney's Treaty was significant to the US because it granted America access through the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans. The treaty went into effect on October 27, 1795.

The Treaty of New Echota, signed in 1835, was widely criticized because it was negotiated without the consent of the majority of the Cherokee people and was seen as a betrayal by their leadership. Many Cherokees opposed the forced removal from their ancestral lands, and the treaty was viewed as a means to legitimize this displacement. Additionally, it led to the tragic Trail of Tears, during which thousands of Cherokees suffered and died during forced relocation, further fueling public outrage and condemnation.
