Why did Georgia want to remove the Indians from its territory?

Georgia sought to remove Native Americans from its territory primarily to expand agricultural development and access valuable land for cotton cultivation, which was a key driver of the state's economy. The discovery of gold in the 1820s further intensified this desire, as settlers were eager to exploit the Natural Resources. Additionally, there was a prevailing belief in Manifest Destiny and racial superiority, which fueled the justification for displacing Indigenous peoples. This culminated in policies like the Indian Removal Act of 1830, leading to the forced relocation of Native Americans, notably the Cherokee, through events like the Trail of Tears.
