Here are the matches for each Georgia law from the 1830s with its effect on the Cherokee Nation:

  1. The Cherokee cannot testify in Georgia's courts.

    • Effect: This law effectively stripped the Cherokee people of their legal rights and made it nearly impossible for them to defend themselves against white settlers and the government.
  2. The Georgia Guard of police is set up to enforce Georgia law on Cherokee land.

    • Effect: This law allowed for the enforcement of Georgia’s laws on Cherokee lands, undermining the Cherokee sovereignty and making it easier for white settlers to encroach upon their territory.
  3. The existence of the Cherokee government is illegal.

    • Effect: This law dismantled the political structure of the Cherokee Nation, removing their ability to govern themselves and further facilitating the takeover of their lands by the state of Georgia.
