What role did the Dahlonega Gold Rush have on the Cherokee Indians living in Georgia?
The Dahlonega Gold Rush, which began in 1828, had a devastating impact on the Cherokee Indians living in Georgia. As white settlers flocked to the area in search of gold, the U.S. government intensified efforts to remove Native Americans from their ancestral lands, leading to the forced relocation of the Cherokee through the Trail of Tears. This gold rush not only resulted in the loss of their territory but also exacerbated the erosion of their culture and way of life, as they faced violence and discrimination from encroaching settlers.

What was the effect of Worcester v Georgia on the Cherokee?
Worcester served little useful purpose to the Cherokee. The US Supreme Court ruled that the state of Georgia had to release the missionaries who had been arrested for living on Cherokee land without the requisite state permit, and that Georgia had no legal right to interfere with the Nation or pass laws enforceable on native land. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions.Chief Justice Marshall made a strong case that the federal government owed the Native Americans protection against Georgia's aggression, but was unable to persuade Jackson to his point of view. Georgia chose to ignore the Supreme Court's order to stop interfering with Cherokee, and since Jackson had no legal obligation to abide by Marshall's opinion (because the US government wasn't party to the Worcester v. Georgia case), nothing changed for the better as a result of the case.President Jackson pressured the Governor of Georgia to release the missionaries, so the substantive ruling in Worcester was upheld.Marshall had no real hope of finding support for his position in the federal government, because the President and majority of Congress wanted to convert prime Cherokee land for their own use. In 1838, the United States succeeded in acquiring Cherokee land in an illegal trade under the Treaty of New Echota. The end result was the tragic "Trail of Tears" relocation from Georgia to territory west of the Mississippi River, causing hardship and death for many Native Americans.Case Citation:Worcester v. Georgia, 31 US 515 (1832)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
