Answer:
The 1830 Indian Removal Bill, backed by President Andrew Jackson, was the first step towards removing the Cherokees from their land for good. In response, the Cherokees took legal action to try to save their lands. Although the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, the state of Georgia confiscated the Cherokee lands.
Explanation:
The removal, or forced emigration, of Cherokee Indians occurred in 1838, when the U.S. military and various state militias forced some 15,000 Cherokees from their homes in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee and moved them west to Indian Territory (now present-day Oklahoma).
