President Andrew Jackson wants the tribes to move west beyond the Mississippi, out of the way of expanding white settlements. In 1830 Congress passes a Removal Act which appropriates money to finance federal negotiations with southern tribes, adding to state pressures the tribes are already experiencing. The Cherokees take their case against Georgia to the Supreme Court and win, but the Court has no means to enforce its decisions. With Jackson's promise of land west of this Mississippi, the Creeks and Choctaws agree to move, but the Cherokees refuse. Eyewitness accounts tell of their forced removal by the military and their journey known as the "Trail of Tears."
