Here is the chronological order of the events you listed:

  1. Yazoo Land Fraud (1789-1796) - This refers to a series of land sales in Georgia that were later declared void due to corruption.
  2. William McIntosh and the Treaties of Indian Springs (1821, 1825) - William McIntosh was a Creek chief who signed treaties ceding Creek lands to the U.S. government.
  3. Worcester v. Georgia (1832) - This Supreme Court case ruled that the state of Georgia did not have the right to impose its laws within the Cherokee Nation, affirming the sovereignty of Native American nations.
  4. The Trail of Tears (1838-1839) - This forced removal of thousands of Cherokee people from their homelands to designated Indian Territory resulted in significant suffering and loss of life.

So the order is:

  1. Yazoo Land Fraud
