Answer:

The United States agreed to pay the tribe $5 million provide new land in the West that would never be included within any future state. The Treaty of New Echota also required the U.S. government to compensate individual Cherokees for their houses and other property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The removal of the Cherokees was a product of the demand for arable land during the rampant growth of cotton agriculture in the Southeast, the discovery of gold on Cherokee land, and the racial prejudice that many white southerners harbored toward American Indians.
