The Cherokees were supported in their unsuccessful battle against removal by various allies, including sympathetic white settlers, abolitionists, and some religious groups who opposed the forced relocation. Legal advocates, most notably the attorney and future Supreme Court Justice William Henry Harrison, argued their case in court, highlighting their rights and sovereignty. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in cases like Worcester v. Georgia provided some legal backing, though ultimately, the government proceeded with the Indian Removal Act, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears.

How did John Ross argue against the removal of the Cherokees?

He lobbied against the passage of the Indian Removal Act and gained the support of some prominent Whigs, but it passed. He filed suit in the Supreme Court against the state of Georgia in protest of state laws that punished the Cherokee. The Court ruled that state laws did not apply to Indian affairs but that did not help the Cherokee where federal law was concerned. He tried to get a treaty approved that would delay the removal of the Cherokee but another faction in the Cherokee nation signed a different treaty that agreed to the removal.
