The Gold Rush, an impact that changed California for the betterA moment in time that transformed history. On January 24, 1848, James W. Marshall strikes gold on the Sutter mill land in Coloma, California. This not only opens up an economic boom but it entails a journey for immigrants. It brings hope to immigrants and gives them the idea of wealth which can lead to the "American dream". With all wealth comes more problems, as the search for gold becomes promising, more and more foreigners come into play. As the beginning of the states are coming together there is a sense of dominance and power. Who would have guessed that the diversity of California came with a price tag. Not valuing the race of others almost seems like this era could have been the extinction period of other races, but instead it was embrace. Not only was it a struggle for these three races but it was the resistance they had which in turned changed the powerful white government. This gave California the diversity it has today.
