Respuesta :
The city grew to 25,000 residents in 1849, the first year of the California Gold Rush, from the east coast of the United States, as well as from Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.
Who benefited from Gold Rush?
Only a small percentage of miners profited significantly from the Californian Gold Rush. The practice of making money by selling the miners extortionately priced goods, services, and food were much more prevalent. The main recipient of this newfound money was Sam Brannan.
With a constitution that forbade the Southern system of racial slavery, California requested to join the Union in the latter half of 1849, setting off a political uproar in Congress between proponents of slavery and those who opposed it.
