California Gold Rush (24 jan 1848 ano – 31 dez 1855 ano)

Descrição:

The California Gold Rush began in 1848 when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California, leading to a massive influx of people to the state as news spread across the nation and around the world. This event not only dramatically increased California's population, facilitating its rapid admission as a state in 1850, but also had profound economic and social impacts, accelerating the expansion and development of the United States.
