Best Answer

Colonial America was not filled with gold seekers. The geography of the East Coast does not have gold. The men of Jamestown came to seek gold for their investors, but found tobacco instead to be the item that saved them. It won't be until the 1849 that gold will make an impact on the US and by that time colonial America was long past. The discovery of gold in California did make people seek gold and created a climate that allowed California to be admitted to the Union in 1850.
