Agree.

Explanation:

I agree with the prepared thesis statement. Historical evidence:

2) "The original treaty also contained a clause that would have allowed individual Cherokee to remain east of the Mississippi and become American citizens if they gave up claims to their land, but President Jackson rejected that provision. (Perdue and Green, 2004)"

3) "John Ross promptly denounced the treaty and the Cherokee National Council declared it a fraud, but the U.S. Senate ratified it in 1836 by a single vote."

4) "Under terms of the treaty, Cherokee had two years to move west voluntarily, before the U.S. Army would begin a 'forced removal.'"
