The gold fever of California was a social phenomenon that occurred in the United States between 1848 and 1855, characterized by the large number of immigrants who came to San Francisco (California) in search of this metal. This phenomenon began near the town of Coloma, when gold was discovered in Sutter's Mill. When the news of the discovery spread, around three hundred thousand people emigrated to California from the rest of the United States and other countries.

The effects of this sudden migration were spectacular. Before the gold rush, San Francisco was a tiny village, and with the fever the village became a city. Schools, roads and churches were built, and other towns were founded. A legal and governmental system was created, which led to the admission of California as a state of the Union in 1850. New means of transportation, such as the steamboat, entered service in the state, and railway lines were laid . The business of agriculture was also started, the second fastest growing item in California.

The gold rush also had other effects: the aborigines of the region were attacked and expelled from their traditional lands. The environmental impact that mining produced was also important.

Answer:

1. Archaeologists call these earliest people in the Americas Paleo Indians or Paleo Americans.

Paleon Indians or Paleo Americans are the name given to the peoples who first inhabited the American continent, arriving from Siberia, crossing the Boering Strait, which at the time was frozen and thus worked as a land bridge.

According to most estimates, these Paleo Americans arrived in the continent 16,000 - 12,000 years ago, although there is significant disagreement among some scholars over the exact time period.

2. The civilization that succeeded the Olmec were the Mayans.

The Mayans are one of the three main American civilizations, along with the Aztecs, and the Incas. The Mayans inhabited what is now the Peninsula of Yucatan in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, and were an important civilization not only in economic and military terms, but also in terms of scientific development, especially in the field of astronomy.

Match each outcome with a weakness of the Articles of Confederation.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Congress was not given any power to tax the people

No taxes=no money to run the country

2. Congress had no power to enforce its own laws in the states

No enforcement=people in various states doing what they want

3. Congress could not make states follow trade agreements with other nations

Bad trading relations with other counties = no international trade

4. Congress could not regulate trade between the states.

High trading taxes between states = difficulty trading goods = slow business = lost jobs

5. Citizens in states thought their property rights were being violated

Violated property rights = need for national government to check the states

6. There was no national court system

No national court system = different systems by state = confusion in the justice system Interstate issues would have no courts to go to on the federal level No means of checking the laws of the legislature

7. There was no executive branch for the central government

This means there was no President or party responsible for enforcing laws; no authority behind the laws There was no figure head for the government No means of checking the policies created by the legislature (what happens when all power is in one branch of government?)

8. It required a unanimous vote to make changes to the Articles

This made it very difficult to make any changes to the Articles

9. Many farmers lost their farms and homes; some were even put in prison As a result, local farmers, led by Daniel Shays decided to rebel by shutting down the courts using force - they even raided a federal arsenal to take weapons for their rebellion

The purpose of this meeting was "for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation"...but they ended up creating a new U.S. Constitution.
