Answer: The Cherokee resisted removal, emboldened by the Supreme court decisions declaring that Georgia law had no force on Indian Territory.  They joined in a protest against Jackson's policy.

Explanation:  The Supreme Court ruled that states could not pass laws conflicting with federal Indian treaties and that the federal government had an obligation to exclude white intruders from Indian lands.
