The big rush into California only came with the Gold Rush of 1848 - 1855, so several years later. Before that, California was only a territory as far removed from the 'civilized' parts of the USA as it was possible to be and plagued by almost continuous fighting by settlers against Mexican troops. Industrial activity - a big draw for immigrants in the east - was practically non-existent, and Californian harbors, such as they were, looked out on an empty ocean, because active shipping to the West coast would only start much later, after the opening op the Panama canal.

Are Americans brash and horrible?
There are quite a few people in the world that believe that Americans are brash and horrible. Others would disagree.
The right to demand labor or tribute from Native Americans in a particular area?
There are multiple terms for these claims, a few of which are: Divine right (Spanish claims through the catholic church), Manifest Destiny (USA claims, still in use today).
Why did few colonial Americans object to the British navigation system after 1700?
It did not affect them that much. The Americans did not have to worry about their finances any more due to the British system.
What were the feeling of the Native Americans when they had to leave their land?
As you can imagine, they were furious. That's why they had so many wars, you know, to get rid of the English men. But some (very few) believed they should still try to make peace with them, like the legend Pocahontas.
What are some careers that draw few African Americans?
