The Gold Rush did not "steal" gold in a literal sense, but it led to the rapid and often reckless extraction of gold from the earth, primarily in the mid-19th century. This surge in mining not only displaced Indigenous peoples and disrupted local ecosystems but also resulted in the exploitation of resources. While miners sought fortune, the consequences of their actions often came at a significant social and environmental cost.
