There were many negative effects of the gold rush:
- Many Native Americans in the area died, because they were killed by the newcomers.
- Not many people struck too much gold, and most did not even get rich.
- There was no established form of government, so people appointed themselves as officers, and killed many innocent people.
Negatives of the Australian gold rush included:
population increased
Blacks were treated terribly in the gold rush. There was still slavery going on so, that was one reason.
The Gold Rush occured when gold was dicovered at the Sutter's Mill in California. Many people came to California very quickly to try and become rich. It greatly affected California with its population. Over 50,000 people came to California in one year! In 1850 (only 2 years later), California had to become its own state just because of the great increase in population.
Life was dangerous form the Gold rush because many people died by accidental bombs going off. Also the prices in the near by towns went up so fast that no one could really buy anything. One potato cost $10.00!

You meant "affect" and not effect. It did many things that would be hard to list in one post. Really, if you wiki gold rush you can see history and trends resulting from it. But in short it established a large American presence in the west; much quicker than if there wasn't one. This then allowed for new forms of trade and merchants to develop.
