Question

Why did Ross write the letter? What does Ross say ties the Cherokee to the U.S.? How does he compare the Cherokee to the U.S.? Why did the Cherokee join the Confederacy? What does Ross want?

Answer 1

rom each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan that Karl Marx made popular in his writing Critique of the Gotha program, published in 1875. The German original is Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen. According to Marx, once a communist society has been established, it will produce enough goods and services so that everyone's needs can be satisfied.[1][2]

Even though the phrase is commonly attributed to Marx, he was not the first to use it. The slogan was common within the socialist movement. Louis Blanc first used it in 1839, in "The organization of work". [3] The origin of this phrasing has also been attributed to the French communist Morelly,[4] who proposed in his 1755 Code of Nature"Sacred and Fundamental Laws that would tear out the roots of vice and of all the evils of a society" including the following:

“I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.
II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.
III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws

Answer 2

John Ross wrote the letter to President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 to state his support for the Confederate cause.

As per Ross, the Cherokee Nation and United States had been tied by treaties which enacted the protection and support of the greater and powerful nation, United States, for the weaker nation, the Cherokee one.

As stated in the previousanswer, he said that the Cherokee nation was smaller and less powerful than United States.

According to Ross, the Cherokee had been surrounded by pressure of the Confederation which forced them to negotiate a treaty.

Ross wanted military protection by the Federal Government and the ratification of the existing treaties.
