what happened to the cherokee and other native tribes during the 1830s?
o the supreme court found that they could stay on their lands, so they did.
o president jackson sought the help of congress to keep the indian reservations safe.
o they were forced to leave their lands and move west—many to oklahoma.
o through the efforts of davy crockett, they were successful in keeping their lands.
In the 1830s, under the Indian Removal Act, Native American tribes like the Cherokee were forced to leave their ancestral lands. Despite the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) that Georgia had no right to extend state laws over Cherokee lands, President Andrew Jackson did not enforce the ruling. Instead, tribes were forcibly removed. Davy Crockett opposed the Indian Removal Act but was unsuccessful in stopping it. President Jackson did not seek Congress to keep reservations safe; rather, he supported removal. The forced migration (Trail of Tears) led many tribes, including parts of the Cherokee, to move west, often to present - day Oklahoma.
