Making land available for white miners and farmers
The Creek Indians, also referred to as the Muscogee tribe, fought to protect their land in Southern Georgia from settlers. They lost millions of acres of land to white settlers.
Because Cherokees were forced to learn the ways of the "whites" and they learned how to read, write, and speak english. They also were forced to dress like them! They put makeup on the indians so they were white and not dark colored. The only way they adapted and were not forced into american culture was that the indians made their own constitution and their own capital copyrighting it from the americans.
White settlers increasingly made life difficult for the Cherokees through land encroachment and the enforcement of policies like the Indian Removal Act of 1830. As settlers moved westward, they coveted Cherokee lands for agriculture and resources, leading to forced treaties that often disregarded Cherokee sovereignty.

Additionally, settlers imposed cultural assimilation efforts that undermined Cherokee traditions and governance.
