The Supreme Court decision in Worcester v. Georgia established that states could not impose laws on Native American territories, affirming their sovereignty. However, despite this ruling, President Andrew Jackson and Congress enacted the Indian Removal Act in 1830, which authorized the forced relocation of Native Americans to lands west of the Mississippi River. This combination of legal precedent and government policy ultimately led to the mass removal and resettlement of various Native American groups, resulting in significant suffering and loss of their ancestral lands.
