General Winfield Scott (1786 - 1886)
No "case" led to the passage of the Indian removal Act; however 2 cases resulted from this act. Most important was Cherokee Nation VS Georgia 30 US 1, 5 (1831) (see links) and Worcester VS Georgia 31 US 515 (8 L.Ed 483) (1832).
The government law that led us to the Trail of Tears was known as the Treaty of New Echota. This treaty was illegal because it was never signed by a Cherokee leader, and the Cherokee Nation's pleas and petitions against it were ignored.
Just prior to the removal the Cherokee Nation fought the state of Georgia and the US through the US Court system, and petitions to congress. During the Trail of Tears the Cherokee learned the only lesson they could from America; what evil really is.
General US Grant was 39 years old when the US Civil War began. He was a West Point graduate and served in the Mexican War. He signed his commission as a captain in 1854 and went into private life.
You need to understand several things. First, the fist successful camera (not Dagerotype or Dry Plate imaging) was not invented until 1889 by George Eastman.The forced removal of Native Americans from their lands in the east to locations west of the Mississippi, commonly referred to as the Trail of Tears, began more than fifty years before that in 1830 with the three stages of removal of the Choctaw, and culminated in the removal of the last Cherokee removed in the winter of 1838-39. There are some Dagerotypes and Dry Plate portraits of those who made the trail (mostly people of the Cherokee Nation).There are no historical photos taken during the Trail of Tears. While camera's were around (per se) they were not portable in such a way that they were available during that time.Modern photo's can be found through many of the search engines. The US Government, US Parks Service, has a web site (linked below) with information on the current Trail of Tears.
