The issue was re-opened in 1832 in the case of Worcester v. Georgia. A [[missionary]] named [[Samuel Worcester]] was residing with the Cherokees when Georgia passed a law forbidding white men to live with them outside of governmental consent. Worcester, along with several fellow missionaries, refused to leave and they were eventually arrested. Worcester was arrested three times, and was eventually sentenced to four years in prison. However, with lawyers hired by the Cherokees, the issue was brought before the Supreme Court, which made a decision in favor of Worcester stating that Worcester didn't need Georgia's permission to reside thusly.
