the poll tax ordinance of 1852 of gold coast
In 1849 gold was discovered in the traces of the John Sutter sawmill in Columa California. This resulted in the gold rush and in 1850 California became a state. Gold was also found in the BlackHills of Dakota in the 1800's and there was a gold rush onto Native Americans lands. The Yukon had a massive gold rush in the late 1800's, but the conditions there were brutal because of the cold and weather.
The b.c. gold rush was when the people in b.c. (early 1860's) struck gold. they soon became the 'gold colony' and sold their gold to people. this had a good impact on the fur trade. the gold business ended in the middle of the 1860's. this caused a great depression for the people in b.c. so the confederation let them join in the confederation. they also built a railway from b.c. to the east of Canada. then July 20th b.c. became Canada's 6th province.
What happened was the men wanted to get to the gold rush areas so they went. The main colonies in Sydney and Melbourne were becoming smaller in population and that's not what the government wanted.
