The correct answer is letter A
On the morning of January 24, 1848, carpenter James Wilson Marshall and his staff worked on the construction of a sawmill at John Sutter's ranch in the Sierra Nevada region of central California. Marshall had to bypass a stream to install the saw, moved by the force of the water. When he looked at the muddy bed of the Americans' river, something caught his eye: there was something shining there in the sunlight. It was gold.
The gold that flowed in California was generous. In the first months after the discovery, it was possible to collect the nuggets directly from the soil. Just crouch and pick it up. The precious metal was found in riverbeds and in ravines that flow. Mexican Antonio Franco Coronel, for example, left the job of teaching in Los Angeles and in three days of mining collected 4.2 kg of gold.

One interesting thing about America’s 19th-century Pacific expansion is that it happened during, and even before, its more famous western settlement. American missionaries and sugar planters were in Hawaii in the 1820s, a generation before the California Gold Rush or Mormon Trek to Utah. The reason is that, while oceans can be deadly in strong winds, water is normally easier to traverse than land — even the long and torturous pre-Panama Canal sea route around Cape Horn from the East Coast to the Pacific. By 1890, when the Census Bureau declared the western frontier closed, the U.S. had already laid claim to territory in the Pacific. By 1902, America controlled Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines, Guam, Midway Island, part of Samoa and several smaller islands in the Pacific (e.g. Palmyra Atoll and Wake, Jarvis, Howland & Baker Islands). Since its revolution and initiation of the Old China Trade routes starting in 1783, the U.S. coveted trading with Asians the way it had traditionally with Europeans. In the 1850s, Commodore Matthew Perry sailed the U.S. Navy to China and Japan to increase trade. By the turn of the 20th century, America was digging a canal shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific and was in combat defending its interests in Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In this chapter, we’ll cover why and how America stepped out onto this world stage
