Oklahoma University law professor Lindsay Robertson examined Chief Justice John Marshall and the Supreme Court's decisions in cases involving the Cherokee Nation. In the 1830s under President Andrew Jackson the Cherokees were forcibly removed from their lands in the southeastern U.S. in what became know as the "Trail of Tears." This talk took place in Richmond, Virginia as part of a day-long symposium.
