Between 1790 and 1830 the population of Georgia increased six-fold. The western push of the settlers created a problem. Georgians continued to take Native American Lands and force them into the frontier. By 1825 the Lower Creek had been completely removed from the state under provisions of the Treaty of Indian Springs. By 1827 the Creek were gone.
The Cherokees in 1828 were not nomadic savages. In fact, they had assimilated many European-style customs, including the wearing of gowns by Cherokee women. They built roads, schools and churches, had a system of representational government, and were farmers and cattle ranchers.
Although many Americans were against the act, most notably Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett, it passed anyway. President Jackson quickly signed the bill into law. The Cherokees attempted to fight removal legally by challenging the removal laws in the Supreme Court.In 1832, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee on the same issue in Worcester v. Georgia. In this case Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the Cherokee Nation was sovereign, making the removal laws invalid.

This is the National News about Lewis and Clark. We went traveling with them and you wouldn't believe what all happened. We started on the Missouri River from their St. Louis area camp. Clark and about four dozen other men met up with Lewis on May 20. The Lewis and Clark expedition began making its way up the Missouri aboard a 55-foot-long. I was helping Clark make a map and I helped Lewis study stuff it was great.
We was always on the lookout for Indians. Around July we had traveled 600 miles and still hadn't met a single indian. On August 2 the Oto and Missouri Indians arrived at the expedition's camp. This first Indians we met the two groups of indians greeted and gave us gifts. We seen elk, deer, buffalo, and beaver. We seen alot of stuff on the way there. We made it back to the Place on 1809.
