On June 5, 1849, the United States Congress passed the "California Gold Discovery Act," which facilitated the influx of settlers and miners to California following the Gold Rush. This act was significant in shaping the state's Demographics and economy. Additionally, on this date, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend the boundary of the Oregon Territory, reflecting the westward expansion of the nation during this period. These events contributed to the broader themes of American expansion and the impact of the Gold Rush on American society.
