Answer:
Cherokee leader John Ross sent a a letter to Abraham Lincoln in 1862. In this document, Ross stated that the growing pressure over his people forced them to support the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Also, he claimed for the Union to ratify the existing treaties in order to maintain the inegrity and welfare of the Cherokee Nation. Ross however, stated that his people supported the Union cause.
A second source of the letter is the analysis that you can find in the book "The Cherokee Diaspora" by Gregory Smithers which provides new elements over the motivation of Ross when wrote the letter and also the deep division within the Cherokees.
By reading the book, the readers can find the motivations why Ross and a part of the Cherokee nation were reluctant to side one of the factions during the Civil War. Also, readers can understand what happened aftermath and the consequences still remained until 21st century.

Here is what I got:
Women: cannot get an education, not as many rights as men
Children: some went to schools (richer kids), while most helped out their family
Indentured Servants: had to work for a long period of time for their master to pay off their debt of their master paying for their passage to the new nation
Slaves: Were treated like property such as coffee mugs, had close to no rights, had to obey their master
Native Americans: some tried to make peace with the newcomers, but most natives got their land taken away
Working Class: Had okay lives, they could not participate in government, had more rights than indentured servants or slaves
Hopefully my answers helped you!
