Answer:

Miners were called 'forty-niners' because they moved to California en masse in 1849 as a result of the California Gold Rush.

Explanation:

1848 gold was discovered by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California. News of the discovery soon spread, resulting in some 300,000 men, women, and children coming to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. These early gold-seekers, called "forty-niners," traveled to California by sailing boat and in covered wagons across the continent, often facing substantial hardships on the trip. San Francisco grew from a small settlement to a boomtown, and roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. A system of laws and a government were created, leading to the admission of California as a state in 1850

Which president vetoed the Reconstruction Acts and the Fourteenth

The correct answer is letter C

Johnson took over the presidency. Once at the top of the country, Johnson tried to implement his autonomy policies, against which the Republicans, who defended the Union's control over the states, vigorously rebelled. Republicans dominated Congress, imposing enormous difficulties on Andrew Johnson's administration.

Johnson continued to rebuild the former Confederate states while Congress was in recess. When Congress met in December 1865, slavery was being abolished. But the "black codes", which regulated the freed slaves, were beginning to appear.

Radical Republicans in Congress, alarmed by the restrictions imposed on blacks, acted to change Johnson's program. Refusing to accept any congressman or senator from the former Confederation, they approved measures aimed at ex-slaves. Johnson vetoed the legislation. Congress overturned its veto and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, establishing blacks as American citizens and prohibiting any discrimination against them.
