The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) ruled that states could not impose their laws on Native American lands, affirming the sovereignty of Native tribes. However, President Andrew Jackson and the state of Georgia ignored this ruling, allowing them to continue asserting control over Native lands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 further facilitated this process, authorizing the federal government to negotiate the removal of Native American tribes from the Southeast to designated Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. This led to the forced removal and resettlement of many Native American groups, notably through events like the Trail of Tears.
