Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While there was indeed scarcity of land in the southeastern United States, and ongoing disregard for Native American rights, the Cherokee's removal from their land in Georgia was not due to the passage of the Indian Removal Act. The Act did make it U.S. policy to relocate Native Americans, but it was not passed until 1830, after the Treaty of New Echota had been signed by a small minority of Cherokee leaders. Additionally, while Andrew Jackson did disregard the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia, this was after the signing of the treaty, and not the primary reason for the Cherokee's removal.
