What he doesn't tell you is that, after the miners went home, the corporations bought the lands and used heavy duty equipment to uncover the gold that was hidden deep beneath the grounds.

[@Captain23rdGaming]

To me i thought it was worth it, because not only did alot of people moved west, but created many towns and cities that we now know today

Yep

[@ricoflamma5430]

Captain23rd Gaming what do you mean by that?!

[@badcornflakes6374]

Well, I don't know about that. Where I grew up (Auburn, California) was named Auburn because of "Au" is the element name for gold and burn is, I guess they would melt it. Cities like Los Angeles have a different history. This gold Rush coincides with northern California cities, such as San Francisco.

There is a mistake in the vid. In the beginning, you show a boat going through the Panama Canal, but the Panama Canal was not completed until 1914. Construction didn't even start until 1899

[@mr_radioactive2929]

Potato Pal you have a very keen eye. But there is an explanation for this. The ships would sail to panama, then the people heading to California would cross panama, then sail from panama's west coast to America.
