The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil War

The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil War

by Leonard L. Richards

Hear Sample Windows Media Player   Real



In this revelatory study, award-winning historian Leonard L. Richards makes clear the links between the Gold Rush and the Civil War.

Richards explains how Southerners envisioned California as a new market for slaves for digging for gold, schemed to tie California to the South via railroad, and imagined splitting off the state’s southern half for a slave state. We see how the Gold Rush influenced other regional and national squabbles, and we meet renegade New York Democrat David Broderick, who became a force in San Francisco politics in 1849, and his archrival, William Gwin, a major Mississippi slaveholder.

Richards recounts the political battles alongside the fiery California feuds, duels, and, perhaps, outright murders as the state came shockingly close to being divided in two.
