Conditions were brutal from the beginning, as an estimated 3500 Creeks died in Alabama alone, being transported in chains from their homeland. In December of 1835, the U.S. Government coerced a small group of Cherokee to sign the Treaty of New Echota, which ceded all Cherokee territory east of the Mississippi to the U.S. More than 15,000 Cherokee protested the illegal treaty, and yet it was ratified in May, 1836 by the U.S. Senate by one vote.
