The West. Episode 3. The speck of the future
Shows how the gold rush in California, which lured thousands of prospectors worldwide, gave America a sense of itself as a continent, gave California its statehood, and made San Francisco a wealthy city. Disappointment and greed also led to prejudice and violence, but for the Indians it was a disaster. Cholera, dwindling buffalo herds and tribal warfare forced the government to assign territory and begin the signing of treaties.
