The Cherokee and Creek people lost their land in Georgia primarily due to the pressures of European American expansion and government policies. The discovery of gold in Georgia in the 1820s intensified this pressure, leading to increased migration of settlers into Native lands. The U.S. government implemented policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which forcibly displaced these tribes from their ancestral territories, culminating in events like the Trail of Tears for the Cherokee. Legal battles, such as Worcester v. Georgia, were often ignored by the state, further facilitating land loss.
