Californian Gold Rush in 1848

The gold rush started in 1848 in coloma,40 miles away from Sacramento, when one worker found gold.His boss didnt want it to come out,

but it did anyway so he and other people had to prove that they are the landowners, to keep the gold. In the next months and years many workers stoped working and moved to California to dig for gold. Since then thousands of people immigrated to California. By 1852 it became more and more difficult and expensive to find gold and because of so many people moving there California soon became the 31st state,and the side effect of that was: There wasnt any gold after Years of digging.So people moved away leaving the towns empty. The gold rush was also bad for the Native Americans,People killed them or made them their slaves, the population was 20% of what it had been before the gold rush.

The gold rush did not last long, no gold no work, so like said, people moved away from the towns to search for new work,

many of the towns are still there and you can Visit them as a tourist.

The Gold Rush in California (1849-1853)

The Gold rush started in 1848. The president confirmed the discovery of gold in December 1849. It began in Coloma 40 miles away from Sacramento in January that year. The workers of Mr Sutter found gold.  Mr Sutter was a German-Swiss immigrant and a businessman.  Mr Sutter wanted to keep the gold secret because he didn't want to give up his farming plans. At the same time he tried to buy more land and become the official landowner. His workers weren't allowed to talk about gold, but the news came out. Mr Sutter had a huge problem.  He had to prove that he officially owns the land the gold was found on.

At first, many locals didn't believe it. Then in May, the news came to San Francisco. Half of the population left the city to look for gold in the American River. Then men stopped working and moved to west where they hoped to get rich easily. The population of the village San Francisco increased from 500 to 150,000 in a few years. New towns were built. California became the 31st state of the United States in 1850.

The impact on Native Americans were terrible. The immigrants killed them or made them their slaves.

The gold fever did not last long. When there was no more gold, there was no more work. People moved away and left ghost towns behind. They are tourist attractions today.
