Best Answer

When California gained statehood, they became one of the most populated states in the Unites States. People had come in from the Gold Rush of 1849. These cities such as San Diego, Las Angeles and San Francisco were known as 'Boom Towns". California also was split between slave and free state. Some Mexicans lived there, and Anglo - Americans.
