may 28, 1830 - Indian Removal Act
Description:
The act forced Native Americans to move west. Many of the tribes signed removal
treaties. However, the Cherokee Nation
refused and fought the government in the
courts. In 1832, the Supreme Court ruled
in Worcester v. Georgia that the state of
Georgia could not regulate the Cherokee
Nation by law or invade Cherokee lands
