"gold fever". many rushed out to cali to dig for gold, but the majority of them were unlucky and found none. the people who made the most profits were those who mined the miners. they would charge outrageous prices for laundry and other personal services. cali was having trouble keeping hold of all the new incomers. crime became a big issue. robbery, claim jumping, and murder were common. they drafted a constitution in 1849 that excluded slavery and then boldly applied to congress for admission. although, like the others, many were hesitant to allow cali to join the union. |
