In the early years of the gold rush, NSW and Victoria were the gold attracting places in Australia and attracted a lot of diggers. A lot of people came for gold for many different reasons such as, to make money and have a new life in Australia others came to find gold and return back to there countries and use the money from the gold for their farms and families. Most migrants came from the United Kingdom, less than 15,000 migrants came from European countries. The people that migrated to Australia didn’t all get along, they were all searching for the same thing and digging for gold some of them fought each other for being in the same area that they were digging in and others stole from each other for the gold. There were thousands of people digging for gold so it was very crowded and people were angry and frustrated and annoyed, some people ended up rich and others didn’t find anything.
Gold rush happened when migrations of workers and miners started coming into the California in search of the gold. Hence it attracted waves of immigrants (300,000 men, women, and children) from all over the United States and around the world. News was confirmed in March 1848 by San Francisco newspaper publisher and merchant Samuel Brannan. Reports of the discovery soon spread, with the news of gold; many families wanted to try their luck and fortunes at Californian’s rivers and decided to go for the gold, becoming some of California’s first miners. The Gold Rush started at Sutter's Mill, near Coloma.
The Discovery of Gold in Native American History Au 79 is the chemical symbol for an attractive and highly valuable metal of gold. The discovery and use of gold is reported as far back as 5,500 years. Gold has been discovered and mined on all the continents and presently it is estimated that all of the gold that has been refined “could be placed in a cube measuring 20 meters on a side” (Jefferson Lab, n.d.). Gold was used by many early civilizations as a trading material and a symbol of wealth. In the history of Native Americans the discovery of gold on their land caused great tragedies and devastation and became a significant factor of Native American history.
The turning point came when the newly formed United Farm Workers launched its first big campaign in 1965 taking strike action involving over 10,000 farm workers. Chávez was greatly involved during the strikes and personally fasted for 25 days; this drew media attention and gained the support of Kennedy who was currently campaigning to the next American President. Strikes and boycotts were effective, but took time and first success and improved in Hispanic status was first evident in 1966 when the Schenley Vineyards agreed a fair contract with farm workers. Despite, this apparent success the major break through was the introduction of minimum wage, but this only came into effect in 1970. Native Americans did not enjoy the benefits of the post-war
A The two most significant geographic and environmental factors that helped develop and expand regions of the United States are, The California Gold Rush of 1848 and The Great American Dust Bowl of the 1930's. The Gold Rush took place in what is now California, and began the 24th day of January in 1948 when a miner discovered a shiny gold near Coloma, California. The news of his findings spread quickly and eventually brought over 250,000 people to the area from all over the world (Wikipedia, 2013). "One of the migrations stimulated by the discovery of gold was the internal westward movement of Americans from the Eastern states who hoped to make a fortune in California" (Dan C Hazen). The effects on societies in the state of California and even throughout the country that the rush were enormous.
In Victoria, gold was found in Castlemaine, Ballarat and Bendigo. Gold rushes flared like “bushfire” around the continent for the next two decades. For all the chaos of the diggings, there was also considerable order, honesty, discipline and political solidarity between the “diggers” – contrasting with the lynch law of California USA. One glitch of course was the famous Eureka Stockade uprising by the diggers/miners against the authorities. The rest of the world, on hearing tales of giant nuggets and creeks paved with gold, set sail to Australia!
The town of Odessa, Texas was founded in 1881 as a water stop and cattle shipping point until it strucked oil in 1927. The oil became a major draw for new residents and skyrocketed from 750 people in 1925 to 10,000 during WWII. 1988 was when Friday Night Lights took place. Based on a true story, Friday Nights Lights was a book by H.G. Bissinger in which was about a high school football team, the Permian panther’s hardships the Team players and coach to make it and win the state championships.
The flood of funds put money in the pockets of those who began to build the city. All in all, the Gold Rush gave California the kick-start it needed to start transforming into what it is today. The Gold Rush started at Sutter's Mill, near Coloma. California Gold Rush was during 1848–49 in the Sierra Nevada. No part of California would be the same after the gold rush.
What archaeological evidence is there for work and business in Pompeii? In the morning of the 24th August 79AD (at 2/3 o’clock), the people of Pompeii was trying to expand their business (since Pompeii was an industrious town with many businesses and trades) and increase their income for their family until they felt the ground shaking although they did not know what was occurring. At this point, Mt. Vesuvius erupted and created pyroclastic surges, earthquakes and pumice. Many people were panicking screamed for help but all of this went in vein and around 20,000 people who lived in Pompeii presumably died either from being crushed, carbonised or inhaling the pyroclastic surge’s deadly gases.
• In Gold Rush a miner’s day was spent panning and mining for gold for up to 10 hours and in Paint Your Wagon the miners have much more free time. • In Paint Your wagon and Gold Rush they discussed that although California was becoming part of the union, during the gold rush each mining towns ran themselves with their own system of rules and regulations. • Gold Rush mentioned that men wanted women not just for sex but for cooking and cleaning as well and in Paint Your Wagon Elizabeth is a good example of how true this was. • In both movies they showed that there was a lot of racial diversity in California during the gold rush. • In Gold Rush a woman talked about how a Chinese family bought a little shack for twenty-five dollars, rip the floor boards out, and found over three-hundred dollars of gold dust that fell through the floor.
