California became America's 31st State on September 9, 1850.
In February of 1848, Mexico and the United States signed a treaty ending the Mexican War. As part of the treaty, Mexico turned over a vast portion of the West to the United States. The land turned over to the United States also included all of present-day California,
Of course, as history tells us, about a month earlier on January 24, 1848, gold had been discovered on the American River near Sacramento. Many things took place with the discovery of gold. But the one thing that took place, more important than anything else at the time, was how the discovery of gold and the rush to California that followed made Washington D.C. get off its backside and into gear -- all to welcome California into the Union.
Because California saw people from all over the world travel here seeking wealth and the benefits that bring in the way of increasing the quality of one's life, the California Gold Rush saw a population boom in ways that have never been seen in North America. That population boom placed emphasis on the need for food, water, the law, and civil government.
As for food and water, many a rancher made more from selling beef cattle than did miners. As for water, clean water was a priority, and pure water was sought. Yes, as was the tradition, many great beers were created as a result of purifying water in California.
As for the law, Miner's Laws and Courts, just as with Citizens Committees and other types of Vigilante Groups, were the first forms of law enforcement that was established. As for a civil government, when Californians sought statehood, the U.S. Congress voted to admit California into the Union as a free state. Officially, California's admission as a state was September 9, 1850.
So now, since I'm a member of the John Coffee Hays Club, I'm hoping that you will want to enjoy the day with our group. And since we're raising money for charity and celebrating the qualities that have made America great, you can't have a better time anywhere.
I hope to see you there!
