...A larger group of the Cherokee did not accept the terms of this treaty and refused to move westward. 1838- Trail Of Tears- Despite the Supreme Court's rulings in 1831, the Cherokee had a right to stay on their lands, President Jackson sent federal troops to remove almost 16,000 Cherokee who had refused to move westward under the unrecognized Treaty of New Echota and had remained in Georgia. In May, American soldiers put most into camps where at least 1,500 died. 1883- Ex Parte Crow Dog- Sioux Indian who shot an Indian on the Rosebud Reservation, was prosecuted in federal court, found guilty, and sentenced to death.

...Worcester fought back and convinced the Cherokee to take the state of Georgia to court. Ultimately, Worcester and ten other men were thrown in jail. Nine of these men accepted a pardon, but Worcester and one other, Elizur Butler, refused their pardon so that the Cherokee could take the case to the Supreme Court in hopes that the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation would be established. In this case, the state of Georgia was told they could not impose their criminal laws on the people residing within the Cherokee Nation lands. It also stated that the citizens of Georgia had no right to enter the lands of the Cherokee tribe and the state had no right to regulate or tax the tribal lands. This ruling however would later be contradicted in Ex Parte Crow Dog and in the passage of the Major Crimes Act in 1885. At this time, the ability of the tribal nations to adequately handle their own government is again denied by Congress and the Supreme Court. In 1835, a group of dissident Cherokee signed the removal treaty (Garrison, 2018). Under this treaty, the U.S. Army forcibly began the removal of the Cherokee Nation from Georgia to the Indian reservation in Oklahoma. This forced removal would lead to the deadly Trail of Tears. The Indians were forced, most walking, more than 1,200 miles to Indian Territory. Whooping cough, typhus, dysentery, cholera and starvation were epidemic along the way, and historians estimate that more than 5,000 Cherokee died as a result of the journey (History...
