Major Ridge was discussing treaties regarding selling land to the U.S. Government.

    Gold Rush Challenges

    • 3 Pages

    Merchants started making the prices on supplies the ‘49ers needed more expensive. It was unfair for the people that needed to buy something even though they weren’t one of the ‘49ers. “Merchants changed higher prices for supplies as people began to stream into California.”(Mcgill, 12) As more people came to California, the higher the prices got and the less money the ‘49ers had to purchase their needs. Also, merchants redrew the California map so they would get more money from the ‘49ers. The ‘49ers would have been paying people they shouldn’t have because they redrew the map. Overall, ‘49ers had it rough during the California Gold Rush.…

    When the first foundings of Gold were cited in California, many citizens around the western coast and eastern coast fled to the scene of the spot being the Sierra Mountains near California. The Gold Rush led to huge expenses in labor shortages around the western coast; this funded opportunities for many residents who were in need of job opportunities. The economy would blossom and flourish from manufactured products, merchant business and agricultural products produced in California being grapes and tomatoes. Besides the economy, many investors including Thomas Larkin who forked in money to build schools and buildings to develop banks into arriving to the Golden State. Many Forty-niners who worked in this state lived far away in the east coast,…

The gold of California was the attraction to the eyes of the world; the perfect land with all the possibilities to get richness in a short time.

    Longing to gain money and resources in the United States, white settlers grew envious of the remaining acreage owned by the Native Americans. In an attempt to claim the land as their own, the U.S. government announced the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which authorized the exchange of southern Indian territory to land owned by the Europeans West of the Mississippi River (“Indian Treaties and the Removal Act of 1830”). The Indian Removal Act was passed to open up for settlement those lands still held by Indians in states east of the Mississippi River, primarily Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and others. Jackson declared that removal would “incalculably strengthen the southwestern frontier.” Clearing Alabama and Mississippi of their Indian populations, he said, would “enable those states to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power” (“President Andrew Jackson”). White inhabitants of Georgia were particularly anxious to have the Cherokees removed from the state because gold had been discovered on tribal lands. Violence was commonplace in Georgia, and in all likelihood, a portion of the tribe would have been decimated if they had not been…

    The California Gold Rush, which lasted from 1848 to 1855, started when gold was discovered by James W. Marshall in Sutter’s mill. As the news of discovery spread, thousands of prospective gold miners gave up their professions and flocked to California by land and by sea, hoping to make a fortune from digging gold. Reverend Mr. Walter Colton, then the alcalde (chief magistrate) in Monterey, witnessed the rush to California by gold miners and wrote, “The blacksmith dropped his hammer, the carpenter his plane, the mason his trowel, the farmer his sickle, the baker his loaf, and the taster his bottle. All were set off for the mines, some on horses, some on carts, and some on crutches, and one went in a litter.” Although these miners were in the…
