A combination of racism and many people in Georgia wanted to steal Cherokee lands for their own uses.
Why did Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee: The simplest of answers is "Greed" the lands owned by the Cherokee were large and they had found gold (as well as other resources on them) and wanted that land. What did the Cherokee do: Believing in the American Justice system the Cherokee filed suit against Georgia to prevent the removal and to strike down a Treaty that was not authorized or signed by the leaders of the Cherokee Nation. When this failed they moved to Oklahoma where they then executed (by public assassination) all persons who signed the treaty (one escaped). This was done under the Cherokee "Law of the Snake" that was amended at this point to not allow the execution of their families - in Anglo-Saxon law the term would be "Treason." It took almost 100 years before the Cherokee would deal with the US Government (sign any paper with them). It should also be noted that several small groups of Cherokee formed "war parties" and raided areas around Oklahoma.
The keys aspirations of the people of Georgia are really no different than anywhere else. They want to be successful, financially secure and happy.
The group of people who formed Georgia were colonists that were in jail. The colonists didn't want to have the people there so they made them their own colony.
Great Britain first claimed georgia in1663, but it was not until 1717 that the British made plans to settle there.
When the Trail of Tears was forced upon the Cherokee Indians, the Indians were given English name as a way of keeping up with them. The Indian names were not allowed on the census rolls so the government gave them an English name. I want to know if Wilson was one of the English names given to any of the Cherokee Indians
There was a war between the government and the Cherokees. This is because the Cherokees felt their rights and freedoms were being taken away from the government.
