the people who went to CA in search of gold were the 49ers. In 1849 the expansion of America drove to new heights causing a push from coast to coast, or Manifest Destiny. Word of Gold in CA encouraged thousands to flush into the area in search of wealth. Most of the new settlers were young white males, who due to crowding back east did not have a substantial plot of land to raise a family, and consequently migrated to California. These people are where the name San Fransisco 49ers come from also
