Detailed explanation-1: -The discovery of the precious metal at Sutter’s Mill in January 1848 was a turning point in global history. The rush for gold redirected the technologies of communication and transportation and accelerated and expanded the reach of the American and British Empires.
Detailed explanation-2: -Growth of Cities: Many of the gold miners ended up coming alone, but some of them brought their families with them, or sent for them later. This increased population in the state of North Carolina when the gold rush first started, and again in other states which eventually led to California.
Detailed explanation-3: -The gold found in North Carolina earned it a nickname-The Golden State-a title that would later be given to California. Gold was so prevalent in the Old North State that from 1804 to 1828, all domestic gold coined by the United States came from North Carolina.
Detailed explanation-4: -While gold mining itself proved unprofitable for most diggers and mine owners, some people made large fortunes, and merchants and transportation facilities made large profits. The resulting increase in the world’s gold supply stimulated global trade and investment.
