Why was the majority of the Cherokee party outraged by treaty of new echota?

The majority of the Cherokee party was outraged by the Treaty of New Echota because it was signed by a small faction of the tribe without the consent of the Cherokee National Council or the majority of the Cherokee people. The treaty mandated the forced removal of the Cherokee from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. This was seen as a betrayal of their rights and sovereignty, leading to significant resistance and anger among the Cherokee, who felt their voices were ignored in a decision that would drastically impact their lives. The resulting forced removal, known as the Trail of Tears, further fueled this outrage.
