Actually it wasn't as simple as all that. The "removal" of the Cherokees was actually a part of a "deal". A deal that didn't go over very well with half the Nation. It, in fact, split the nation in two, a separation that it still seen today. The Cherokees and the Creeks did a lot of fighting over this, even joining forces in many cases. The Seminoles were a whole different story, a Nation made up from several different sources and lived in an area that was pretty much left alone by US troops at that time.
To answer this question with some idea of intelligence, you will really need to delve into the history of the Georgia/Tennessee/North Carolina/Florida Nations of that time period. It's really not a difficult as it sounds. By the time of the "removal", these two Nations had merged, taken in, combined forces with the others in that general area.
This is NOT 6th grade history stuff and it's NOT in your high school history book either.
The net, however, is loaded with information.

I should think so. The Cherokee took the state of Georgia directly to the Supreme Court and won. See Cherokee Nation v. Georgia. They were removed anyway by the Jackson administration.
The Seminoles fought two wars with the US to resist relocation. The US simply abandoned the war in 1842, and the Seminoles remain the ONLY tribe never to have signed a peace treaty with the US. Most of the survivors were relocated anyway by the Jackson administration.

The Cherokees refused to move. They were finally forced to leave, and that became known as the Trail of Tears. The Seminoles willingly left.
Are you really in college? You should know this info by now. For shame.
