the Cherokee
In the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the Cherokee Nation appeared to win a legal victory against removal. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the state of Georgia had no authority to impose laws within Cherokee territory, affirming the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. This decision, however, was largely ignored by both President Andrew Jackson and the state of Georgia, leading to the continued forced removal of the Cherokee people, known as the Trail of Tears.
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee, President Jackson disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.
