Cherokee lawyers appealed the order to mive through the courts and the US Supreme Court foud in their favor, but Jackson refused to comply with their decision. The move from North Carolina to the Indian Territory is called the Trail of Tears because so many died along the way due to the haste required and the poor support offered by government officials. Some Cherokee ressisted the relocation, took to the hills, and remained in the Carolinas. As a result, the Cherokee now exist as two Tribes, the Eastern Cherokee and the Western Cherokee.
How did the Cherokee attempt to retain their land?
They filed suit against the State of Georgia, and when the case was decided against them they appealed up to the Supreme Court. In 1837, the Supreme Court decided in their favor, but President Andrew Jackson refused to recognize or enforce the decision and had them rounded up and force marched to Oklahoma. Some Cherokee remained behind, other (like my greatgrandmother's people) escaped along the way and were helped by locals to return to North Carolina.
