The Indian Removal Act of 1830
Making land available for white miners and farmers
In 1830 the Congress of the United States passed the "Indian Removal Act." Although many Americans were against the act, most notably Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett, it passed anyway.
No "case" led to the passage of the Indian removal Act; however 2 cases resulted from this act. Most important was Cherokee Nation VS Georgia 30 US 1, 5 (1831) (see links) and Worcester VS Georgia 31 US 515 (8 L.Ed 483) (1832).
The Native people (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole) in the Indian removal act of 1830 came from the southeastern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina) of the United States.

Hi
When Jackson found out there was gold, he immediatly called for the Indian removal act
He lobbied against the passage of the Indian Removal Act and gained the support of some prominent Whigs, but it passed. He filed suit in the Supreme Court against the state of Georgia in protest of state laws that punished the Cherokee. The Court ruled that state laws did not apply to Indian affairs but that did not help the Cherokee where federal law was concerned. He tried to get a treaty approved that would delay the removal of the Cherokee but another faction in the Cherokee nation signed a different treaty that agreed to the removal.
