The Cherokee were forced to move despite the Supreme Court ruling in their favor due to President Andrew Jackson's refusal to enforce the Court's decision. The ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) affirmed the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation, but Jackson's administration prioritized land and economic interests over judicial authority. This led to the implementation of the Indian Removal Act, ultimately resulting in the tragic Trail of Tears, where thousands of Cherokees were forcibly displaced.

the Cherokees
The Cherokees were supported in their unsuccessful battle against removal by various allies, including sympathetic white settlers, abolitionists, and some religious groups who opposed the forced relocation. Legal advocates, most notably the attorney and future Supreme Court Justice William Henry Harrison, argued their case in court, highlighting their rights and sovereignty. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in cases like Worcester v. Georgia provided some legal backing, though ultimately, the government proceeded with the Indian Removal Act, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears.
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 Cherokees', for the first time got what they wanted.
The U.S Supreme Court
no john g Roberts jr. is she is on the supreme court though
In the case of Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia, the Supreme Court declined even to hear the case, because the Supreme Court had no real jurisdiction over the case, since the Cherokees were their own separate nation.
