Answer:
Georgia's early settlers mostly saw the Cherokee as a threat because the settlers wanted the farmland. The Native American tribes in the north had semi-permanent, but smaller houses. The tribes in the midwest had very portable homes in the form of teepees to follow the bison. The tribes in the southeast had permanent homes and large plantations. The white settlers wanted the land because the demand for cotton was huge and growing. Gold was also discovered on Cherokee land, and the white settlers saw the Native Americans as inferior. Eventually, the new American government passed law after law to remove the Native American people from their land. The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, and that ultimately led to the Trail of Tears, where Native Americans were marched in terrible conditions into what is now Oklahoma.
