Since James Marshall built  that sawmill on the nearby American River. One day Marshall inspected the canal that brought water to Sutter’s Mill. He later said, “My eye was caught by a glimpse of something shining. . . . I reached my hand down and picked it up; it made my heart thump for I felt certain it was gold.” Creating the California gold rush. Because of that most of us are moving out there to get a better life. There were three ways to get there sail 18,000 miles around South America and up the Pacific coast, Sail to the narrow Isthmus of Panama, cross overland and then sail to California, and travel the trails across North America. once you got there mining camps were very dangerous and harsh. one lady said that  "in the short space of twenty-four days, we have had murders, fearful accident, bloody deaths, a mob, whippings, a hanging,......and a fateful duel.¨  Most of the workers are Chinese immigrants ,most of the Chinese miners were peasant farmers who fled from a region that had suffered several crop failures. One thing that you would face in the mines was competition most of them were based from greed, anger, and prejudice. The impact of wealth increased tremendisly. The impact of the gold rush had a major impact on however, the gold rush ruined many Californios. The newcomers did not respect Californios, their customs, or their legal rights. Also the huge migration caused economic growth that changed California permanently. The city of San Francisco grew to become a center of banking, manufacturing, shipping, and trade.  For some people such as enslaved women California state hood was proved to be the opportunity of a lifetime. On a national level, California’s statehood created turmoil. Before 1850, there was an equal number of free states and slave states. Southerners feared that because the statehood of California made free states outnumber slave states, Northerners might have used their majority to abolish slavery. Manifest destiny is the belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents that was justified. Like there was a huge amount of people moving to California.
