Some civil unrest might be what it takes to open some eyes.
I’m not a fan of that approach but it would seem that the media will only cover Katrina events. So...
And the end result of Worchester v. Georgia was? .....

End result, the Cherokees got screwed (and pretty much all the other tribes as well). It’s funny that had that ruling been enforced, the White governments wouldn’t have had the right to displace any existing Native government, let alone having political authority to dictate to them. It would’ve been a nightmare for settlers all over if they weren’t able to purchase the land from the tribes themselves, as they would’ve been hemmed into the lands already held. I could see Jackson’s point of view and that this could end up a nightmare of bloodshed, but it’s hard to look at it all without coming to the conclusion that the President of the United States by his response essentially declared it was A-OK to run roughshod over Native Americans leading to their removal from their lands.
