In 1832, the Cherokee Nation sued the state of Georgia. This legal action was prompted by Georgia's attempts to assert control over Cherokee lands and nullify their sovereignty, which led to the landmark Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the Cherokee, affirming their rights to their lands, although the decision was largely ignored by the state and led to further conflict.
