Answer me: describe the relationship between the forty-niners and the gold rush

The California Gold Rush happened between 1848 and 1855, this was where many people went to California, as gold was found there. This was a chance to earn money and become rich, so a lot of people took that chance.

The people who would go to California in hopes of finding gold during the gold rush were called forty-niners. They were named this because many of them arrived in the year 1949, a lot of them even coming from other countries and leaving their families, in hopes of finding gold.

nativists tried to get rid of the immigrants as they thought they were going to ruin the u.s.  

the government closely monitored its finances to avoid another financial collapse.
