The U.S. government, under President Andrew Jackson, enforced the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which aimed to relocate Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The state of Georgia actively supported this initiative, seeking to seize Cherokee lands for white settlement. Despite a Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) that recognized the sovereignty of Native American nations, both the U.S. and Georgia governments largely ignored the decision, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee in the infamous Trail of Tears.
