The discovery of gold in Georgia most likely made the state anxious to remove the Cherokee tribe from their homeland. The finding of gold in Cherokee territory triggered a significant influx of settlers and heightened the desire for the removal of the Cherokee people, leading to the infamous forced removal known as the Trail of Tears. The economic interests and the desire for expansion played a crucial role in the pressure to relocate Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, from their ancestral lands.
