Between 1820 and 1850, some Americans discriminated against Irish immigrants because the Irish were mostly Catholic.
A Few other reasons the Irish were discriminated was because they considered Irish to be a different race blamed for rising crime, poverty, and disease. worked for little money which forced wages lower. celebrated Sabbath with alcohol blamed for alcoholism in America.
They wanted to exploit a loophole in american politics. Before them, the other Native people who ceded their lands had first been recognized as nations and then when the territory became their legally, they would give it away in deals with the American government. The Cherokee thus declared themselves to be a sovereign nation and not to give the land, which is why they took the case to the supreme court in order to be protected.
