Why did the state of Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee?

A combination of racism and many people in Georgia wanted to steal Cherokee lands for their own uses.


Why did the state of Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee and what did the Cherokee do in response?

Why did Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee: The simplest of answers is "Greed" the lands owned by the Cherokee were large and they had found gold (as well as other resources on them) and wanted that land. What did the Cherokee do: Believing in the American Justice system the Cherokee filed suit against Georgia to prevent the removal and to strike down a Treaty that was not authorized or signed by the leaders of the Cherokee Nation. When this failed they moved to Oklahoma where they then executed (by public assassination) all persons who signed the treaty (one escaped). This was done under the Cherokee "Law of the Snake" that was amended at this point to not allow the execution of their families - in Anglo-Saxon law the term would be "Treason." It took almost 100 years before the Cherokee would deal with the US Government (sign any paper with them). It should also be noted that several small groups of Cherokee formed "war parties" and raided areas around Oklahoma.

Which state did the Indians relocate too after the Trail of Tears?

The government created and enforced many "trails of tears". The one that history records made most famous was that of the Cherokee. Forced to walk thousands of miles from Georgia to Oklahoma, four thousand Indians are thought to have died. This removal was against the findings of the Supreme Court of the United States who said the Cherokee would have to agree with the removal. They never did.

What was Jackson's response to the court ruling when the Cherokee began living in Georgia?

The Cherokee didn't "begin living in Georgia," they were there before white people. The State of Georgia wanted to remove the Native Americans from their ancestral land and relocate them in less desirable territory west of the Mississippi River. President Jackson allegedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it," meaning the Court had no power to enforce its decisions and the federal government wasn't going to help the Cherokee Nation. Some historians dispute the claim that Jackson actually made the above statement, although he wrote something similar in a letter to a friend. For more information, see Related Questions, below.
