The case of Worcester v Georgia was when the Cherokee Indians were forced out their territory. This made the Trail of Tears because the Indians migrated from Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. How this all started is because Georgia wanted the Indians out of the area. So they created a removal treaty to move them out. The Cherokee leader John Ross disapproved of this so he filed with the U.S. Georgia ended up winning the trial which moved all the Indians in the area.
