Cherokee, mostly. The trek was known as "The Trail of Tears" because there was a very high Death Rate among the Indians during the march.
Georgia was the only colony not to send a delegate to Philadelphia in 1774. Georgia declined to send delegates because they were hoping for British assistance with Native American problems on its frontier and did not want to upset the British.
Tecumseh was a Shawnee leader who sought to unite Native American tribes against the encroachment of American settlers on their lands in the early 19th century. He played a significant role in organizing resistance against American expansion, leading to conflicts such as the War of 1812. Tecumseh's efforts aimed to protect indigenous territories and preserve native cultures, ultimately challenging the American government's policies and actions toward Native peoples. His legacy is remembered as a symbol of resistance and unity among Native American tribes.
Governor George Troup of Georgia and William McIntosh, a prominent Creek leader, had a complex and often contentious relationship. Troup sought to remove Creek tribes from their ancestral lands to facilitate Georgia's expansion, while McIntosh, who was aligned with American interests, supported land cessions to the U.S. government. Despite their initial cooperation, tensions escalated as Troup's policies increasingly marginalized Native Americans, ultimately leading to McIntosh's assassination in 1825 by fellow Creeks who opposed his collaboration with white settlers. This conflict highlighted the broader struggles between Native American leaders and state governments during this period.
Samuel Worcester challenged the constitutionality of the Georgia act because it imposed restrictions on the rights of Native Americans and violated federal treaties that recognized their sovereignty. He argued that the state of Georgia lacked the authority to regulate interactions with Native Americans, as these matters fell under federal jurisdiction. Worcester’s case highlighted the conflict between state laws and federal treaties, ultimately leading to a significant Supreme Court decision affirming the rights of Native American tribes.

The Georgia Compact, established in 1802, was an agreement between the federal government and the state of Georgia in which the federal government promised to extinguish Native American land claims in Georgia. This compact facilitated the expansion of white settlement by effectively ceding control over Native American territories to the state. As a result, it led to increased pressure on Native American tribes, culminating in the forced removal of tribes like the Cherokee through policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Ultimately, the compact significantly accelerated the loss of Native American land in the region.

President Andrew Jackson held views that prioritized westward expansion and economic development over Native American rights. He believed that Native American tribes were impediments to progress and advocated for their removal from ancestral lands, leading to policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans, most notably during the Trail of Tears, which devastated their populations and cultures.
