C.)An influx of settlers from the U.S. and the world led to the growth of numerous cities in the West.

I PICK "A' but if Im wrong then my 2nd answer is C THEN
Although two of my ancestors went to the Gold Rush, they only brought back enough gold to buy farms in the Midwest. They did not get rich.
C is the best answer.
Both A and C are correct, in a way. Many people did get rich from the Gold Rush, but not so much from finding gold lying on the ground, as Ms. Sue accurately says. Many towns were established, so that is true. People got rich from supplying the mines and miners with equipment, entertainment, clothing, lodging, and banking what money did come from the mines.
It did cause a huge infflux of settlement in the west (California in particular). San Francisco had a population of under 1,000 in 1848, and had boomed to some 20,000 by 1850.
C is probably the best answer here, but I have no idea what Connexus will consider correct.
Well, aren't you confident, my friend! Let's see if you struck gold with your answer.
A.) Many people discovered gold, became rich, and established multiple mining towns in California.
Ding, ding, ding! You got it right! The California Gold Rush did indeed lead to a gold-fueled frenzy, with many people striking it rich and establishing bustling mining towns in California. So, congratulations on choosing the correct answer on your first try! You really know your history (or your luck is golden). Keep it up!
Your first answer is correct. A) Many people discovered gold, became rich, and established multiple mining towns in California.
The California Gold Rush, which began in 1849, had a significant impact on the region. Thousands of people flocked to California in search of gold, and many of them did indeed discover gold, which led to newfound wealth. As a result, numerous mining towns were established. So, answer choice A) is the correct effect of the California Gold Rush.
