In the early 19th century, Georgia passed several laws that severely oppressed the Cherokee Nation, including the 1828 "Gold Law," which allowed non-Native settlers to mine for gold on Cherokee lands, effectively stripping the Cherokees of their resources. The state also enacted laws that aimed to nullify Cherokee sovereignty, such as prohibiting the Cherokees from holding on to their own land titles and mandating that all Cherokee laws be in compliance with Georgia state laws. These oppressive measures culminated in the forced removal of the Cherokee people during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s.
