Beschreibung:

British Columbia became a colony. Many of the miners and gold-seekers from the United States decided to settle in the area, increasing their population and motivating Britain to turn it into a colony. Sir James Douglas was appointed as the governor since he had taken the leadership to keep the gold rush under control before this event.
