What was California gol rush?
The California Gold Rush started in 1848 and ended in 1859. A man named James Marshall was building a saw mill when he spotted a flash of gold the size of a pea in the river, which was about a foot deep then. He picked it up, and it looked like gold. At first he thought it was Iron Pyrite, (Fools Gold) but he smashed it with a rock and it flatted without breaking. He didn't think it was proof of a big find, and he though it was mixed with other metals. So he took it to a guy named John Sutter, the man he was building the saw mill for. They tested it and found it was pure gold. Marshall promised the men that were helping him build the saw mill that they would hunt for gold after they finished building, and agreed to keep it secret. But some people spread the word, and slowly at first, then faster, The Gold Rush began.
How does the California gold rush represent manifest destiny?
People from all over the world flocked to California to pick up the nuggets that were the size of a man's fist, just lying around out in the open. It certainly must have affected the world's gold/precious metals market.The California Gold Rush most certainly negatively affected the Yahi tribe's ability to hunt and fish in their historical home territory. Their population was estimated to be about 400 when gold was discovered in 1848. The tribe's last known survivor, believed to have been born around 1860, passed away in 1911.See more about the Yahi tribe of the Yana People at the related Wikipedia link listed below:
Why did the gold rush change California so significantly?
The gold rush changed CA because of the numbers of people coming into the territory. San Francisco and Sacramento grew in population and size. They were the main "jumping off" points into the gold region. With them came new cultures, foods, and in less than 2 years CA went from a territory to a state on Sept. 9, 1850. Men like Levi Strauss, a tailor, created a business by adding brass brads to the pants of miners. Today we call these pants "Levis". A great deal of money came into CA from the East to invest in companies and banks that were built to handle the business from the thousands of people that came into the state. As more money poured into the state people spread out moving into areas in the center of the state and began growing/shipping crops they grew. The railroads began to build tracks into these areas and new cities grew up at the rail stops. Today those some of the largest cities in central CA and they still produce most of the crops sent to international and national markets. We still see the effects today of the gold rush.
