California was to enter the Union as two states. The northern one would be a "free" state called California and the southern one would be a territory which was to immediately become a “slave” state to be called Colorado.

Most of it came from state run farms. The communists collectivized farming meaning that there were no private farms anymore but there were only farms run by the state with agriculture workers working for the country and not just for themselves. Their produce would belong to the state and would be sold to people instead of farmers choosing what to do with it.<span />
