Why did John Sutter build Sutters Fort?

Sutter got a land grant from Mexico for the land that is now Sacramento. He built the fort to be the end point for the wagons and people he knew would come to CA eventually. What he didn't count on was the Gold Rush that was started by John Marshall at the mill Sutter built. Sutter was also prominent in the start of the Bear Flag Republic. John C. Fremont went to see Sutter before the republic was declared and told him he had to take sides. Fremont wanted to bring the Mexican governor to be held at Sutter's fort, but since Sutter had a Mexican land grant Sutter wasn't sure he could count on him for help. Finally, Sutter did agree to keep the governor and the rest is history. On Sept. 9, 1850 California became a state and because of the gold rush Sutter died a poor man.


What was made from John Sutters Mill?

Sutter was given a Mexican land grant in the 1838 and built a fort in the area that is now Sacramento. He laid out the city and when the western movement began his fort grew. His fort was the only place people who came in on the California trial had to go to. Sutter was Swiss and liked to dress in uniforms and to gain the grant from Mexico he had to convert to be Catholic and a Mexican citizen. John Fremont went to Sutter to obtain his help in establishing the Bear flag republic and when the Mexican governor was take by Fremont's men he was taken to Sutter's Fort and locked up. John Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. He found gold flakes in the traces of the saw mill. Soon it was leaked that gold was found. Sutter tried to stop it from getting out but a San Francisco newspaper had a headline about the discovery and soon 10,000 a day were arriving in the area. Over 300,000 people came to the state in the two years after the news. CA became a state in 1850 and Sutter lost everything.
