For the most part, the Colorado Territory was not a well populated place for white settlers. That all changed when 1858 and then a year later, gold was discovered in regions of Colorado. This brought in about one hundred thousands gold miners. This influx of new settlers was the beginnings of a conflict as the Demographics of the region changed and the settlers began to take over lands that belonged to the Natives.
