Because California was not yet a state.
Gold miners faced disses each day when working out in the open.
The purpose of the conflict was for the miners to take a stand against the unfair licences imposed upon them, and the random licence checks. Miners who could not produce a current licence - which had to be renewed monthly - were subject to severe penalties. The miners built the Eureka Stockade from which they could conduct their protest. Unfortunately, it was seen as sedition, and soldiers were brought in, which resulted in a conflict that killed 23 diggers.
6 soldiers were killed and 22 miners were killed. 12 miners were injured.

Chinese miners in the 19th century United States faced discrimination through a range of measures, including violence, exclusion laws, and economic exploitation. They were subjected to physical attacks, had their mining claims confiscated, were paid lower wages than their white counterparts, and often faced hostility from other miners and local communities. These discriminatory practices were fueled by xenophobia, racism, and economic competition.
