well California was a part of Mexico originally, around the time we were trying to become a state, the United states had an even number of slave/no slave states California wanted to enter in as a free(no slave) state. his caused an issue because it would obviously make the free side bigger and the slave states thought it would bring an end to slave states. Despite this after a lot of "debates" California was voted in, and because we entered as a free state we basically started the civil war, there were other factors but we were a big art in it.
