(AMERICAN INDIANS.) Marshall, John. Opinion of the Supreme Court . . . in the Case of Samuel A. Worcester . . .

THE CHEROKEES HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT (AMERICAN INDIANS.) Marshall, John. Opinion of the Supreme Court . . . in the Case of Samuel A. Worcester . . . versus the State of Georgia. 20 pages. 8vo, disbound; some browning. Washington, 1832

  • Notes: In this important case, Marshall's Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee nation deserved federal protection against state impositions. Georgia, with the support of President Andrew Jackson, famously ignored the court ruling. Six years later, the Cherokees were expelled from their Georgia territory in the Trail of Tears.
