-
Effects
The Cherokees were already accustomed, and they didn't want to move. They sued the State of Georgia and won.
Trail of Tears
The journey the Cherokees had to take because the government forced them to relocate, and as a result 4,000 people died.
Both the North and South were able to push Westward in Pursuit of Manifest Destiny. In the process, some Indians began to assimilate, even sometimes owning slaves.
Native American population severely decreased, and since there was only a few Indians that survived the journey, the culture quickly became, and still is today, on the verge of extinction.
Causes
-
Americans wanted to remove the Cherokees from their land because they were already swayed by arguments based on stereotypes of the Cherokees as hostile, savage, wandering people.
