Answer 1

The gold rush after the discovery of gold in Dahlonega in 1828 resulted in the forceful removal of the Cherokee Indians from the state of Georgia, leading to the Trail of Tears.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discovery of gold in Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1828 led to the nation's first gold rush, which brought prospectors and settlers to Cherokee lands. As a consequence, the state of Georgia exercised sovereignty over Cherokee lands and extended state laws into Cherokee territory.
