<u>Newcomers came to California</u> not only from Eastern Coast but also from all over the world, including remote countries like China. Their <u>main assertions and claims</u> were 1. <em><u>Rights to own "private land"</u></em>. Technically, California was still part of Mexico in 1848 and initially forty-niners operated under a confusing combination of Mexican and American rules and laws. 2. <em><u>Tribunal or court to resolve disputes</u></em>. Formally, California became a state in September of 1850. In the meantime, conflicts and disputes were mostly solved violently.
