Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia
Hi
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.
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.
Because of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Cherokee had to be relocated. Initially, the Cherokee people did not think this really pertain to them. Unfortunately, they were forced to move, anyways. They were not prepared for so many people and hundreds of Cherokee died from starvation, exposure, and illnesses.

General Winfield Scott issued an ultimatum to the Cherokee tribe primarily due to their resistance to removal from their ancestral lands in Georgia. Tensions escalated as some Cherokee leaders and factions sought to legally contest their removal, while others attempted to negotiate for their rights. This defiance, coupled with a broader push from state and federal authorities for the implementation of the Indian Removal Act, prompted Scott to demand compliance, ultimately leading to the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears.
The federal government
The Treaty of Echota, signed by a minority faction of the Cherokee (who did not have the authority to do so) and the United States government, led to the forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia to a reservation west of the Mississippi. This relocation was known as the Trail of Tears and resulted in the deaths of about 4,000 Cherokee's during the march.
