Why were the Cherokee forced to move in spite of the Supreme Courts ruling in Worcester v. Georgia?

They were forced to move because Andrew Jackson ignored the Court and forced them to move to new lands West of the Mississippi River. They had to walk all the way to their new homes, which is known as the Trail of Tears.

Hope that helps!
