Many individuals came to America in search of gold during the 19th century, particularly during the California Gold Rush that began in 1848. Prospectors, often referred to as "49ers," flocked to California hoping to strike it rich after gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill. This influx included people from various backgrounds and regions, including the United States, Europe, and Asia, all drawn by the promise of wealth and opportunity.
