C. The Cherokee were still forced to leave their lands in Georgia

Despite the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia, which recognized the Cherokee Nation as a sovereign entity, the federal government and the state of Georgia did not enforce the ruling, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokees from their ancestral lands along the Trail of Tears.
