Why did the state of Georgia want to relocate the Cherokee and what did the Cherokee do in response?

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.

Did any of the Cherokee Indians from the Trail of Tears assume the surname Wilson?

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
