My topic is about the Gold Rush of 1849 in the United States History. In January 24, 1849, James Wilson Marshall found gold in California, when he founded gold, it caused many people to move to California to look for gold. The reason why I choose this topic is because that it was super important at that time. Gold was very valuable and from the 1800s to today, it is also the reason why that California is the most populated state today. What interest me about choosing this topic is that a football game name was named the 49ers because gold was found in 1849. I might narrow the focus by mostly explaining what happened in the 1849 Gold Rush and not use the fun facts that 49ers was named because of the 1849 Gold Rush. Questions that I will have
