California History
California’s History There were many historical events in California, but only one was the most important. It was the war with Mexico and America . I think that the event is most important because it explains how America got possession of California. America wanted to go coast to coast. America offered to buy California, but Mexico said no. The war began because Mexico said no to the offer. When the war ended america had won. If the war with Mexico didn’t happen, then California would be part of Mexico unless another event had happened. America would not have the California gold rush and America wouldn’t be the same. The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was signed and America gained four states for $15,000,000. The four states would have been part of Mexico or Texas if the war didn’t happen.America wanted to go coast to coast. America offered to buy California, but Mexico said no.
