Answer:

This was the first major gold rush in the United States. Unfortunately, for the Cherokee, the gold was discovered on Cherokee land. The Dahlonega Gold Rush brought a huge influx of miners, as well as increased pressure from Georgia, who wanted to fully control the Cherokee lands which were within the state's borders.
