Why did Georgia leaders prepare for their removal and how did the Cherokee respond?
Georgia leaders prepared for the removal of the Cherokee primarily to gain access to fertile lands promised to them by the Treaty of 1835, which had been signed under dubious circumstances. They sought to expand cotton cultivation and economic opportunities for white settlers. In response, the Cherokee resisted through legal means, challenging their removal in court, notably in the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, which affirmed their sovereignty. However, despite the legal victories, the U.S. government ultimately enforced their removal, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears.
