A lesson unit that looks at the efforts of the Cherokee Nation in Georgia between 1817 and 1827 to establish their own system of governance and to keep their lands from being ceded. Even though the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in their favor, the state of Georgia still forced them off their lands and they were removed to Oklahoma over the 'Trail of Tears,' with many dying along the way.
