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.

Andrew Jackson ultimately sided with Georgia in the argument over the Cherokees. Despite the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia, which favored the rights of the Cherokees, Jackson famously ignored the decision and supported the state's rights to remove Native Americans from their lands. This led to the forced relocation of the Cherokees, known as the Trail of Tears, reflecting Jackson's alignment with state interests over Indigenous rights.
The president, Andrew Jackson, recognized the Cherokeee indians as a communitty, seperate than apart of the state of Georgia.
The state of Georgia violated the treaty with the Cherokees by passing laws that undermined the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation and authorized the seizure of their lands. Specifically, the Georgia legislature extended state laws over Cherokee territory, effectively nullifying the rights guaranteed to the Cherokees under the Treaty of New Echota in 1835. This led to the forced removal of the Cherokee people, known as the Trail of Tears, despite legal challenges that affirmed their rights.
