Why were the Choctaw relocated to Oklahoma?

The Choctaw, along with five other southern tribes were moved to Oklahoma following the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830.   Many Choctaw died from disease, famine and attacks from white men and hostile Indians including the Comanche, during this transition, which came to be known as the "Trail of Tears".
