Why were the Cherokees forced to move even though the supreme court ruled in there favor?

The population of European settlers who moved to the colonies created a need for more space. The advantage for the settlers was that the Cherokee worked very hard to learn the lifestyle that the Europeans were bringing to the Americas. The disadvantage was that the Cherokee worked hard to learn the lifestyle - this created ready made homes for incoming settlers because the Cherokee were forced to leave taking only what they could carry on their backs. The homes, crops and cattle herds that they had created became the property of those who bought the land out from under them in spite of the legal efforts the Cherokee people put forth.

I recommend having an open and honest conversation with your brother about the situation and express your feelings and concerns.
