Beginning
The Californian Gold Rush began 1848 when gold was discovered in Sutter's Mill. That was the reason why many people from the USA and even from other countries came to California to find "Gold" there.
FOURTY-NINERS
The "Fourty-Niners" were the first people who came to California. They were called like that because most of the people who came with the first wave of gold miners came in 19"49".
What kind of people went there?
Most of the gold miners were poorer people who wanted to find their luck in the mines. They didn't have much and they wanted to change their live!
Profits?
Just very few people became rich because of the gold, that they've found. Most of them returned home while they weren't really more rich.
CHINESE AMERICANS
Most of the Chinese Americans who went to California to find gold didn't want to stay there. Their plan was going there, becoming rich and return home to China. But that didn't work! Most of them didn't become rich at all. And many other just stayed there because America has become their home.
