Answer:

Trail of Tears

Step-by-step explanation:

In Worcester v. Georgia, this is a legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 3, 1832, held that Georgia laws have no force on Cherokee land.

However, United States President Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the ruling, this led to what is later known as TRAIL OF TEARS where by the US government forces the Cherokee, about 15,000 of them, to leave the Southeast for Indian Territory in the far away Oklahoma, where about 4,000 died along the journey.
