What connection can be drawn between the Treaty of New Echota and the Trail of Tears?
A
The signing of the treaty caused a civil war between Cherokee that supported it and those that opposed it. The victorious Cherokee then forced the losing faction to leave their homeland in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
B
The majority of the Cherokee people did not support giving their land to the government and most of them ignored the treaty and refused to leave their homes. The government then forced them to leave in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
C
The government refused to pay leaders of the Cherokee the amount agreed to in the treaty, so the Cherokee refused to uphold their agreement to leave their land. The government then forced them to leave in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
D
The treaty prohibited American Indians from trading with citizens of the United States. Because they could no longer get the supplies they needed in the South, the Cherokee moved west along what came to be known as the Trail of Tears.
