Prior to the Civil War, many Americans embarked on a journey west, with California emerging as a prime destination largely due to the Gold Rush of the late 1840s. This influx saw thousands rush to California seeking fortune and opportunity.

The westward expansion shaped the nation’s landscape, culture, and economy, despite various obstacles that settlers faced along the way.
