By Abdallah Khalifa AbdallahCarpenter James W. Marshall discovered gold flakes in Coloma, a small town on the American River in the United States, on January 24, 1848. This sparked the Gold Rush, a mass movement of fortune seekers, which drew diverse miners, sparking economic competition that led to the discrimination, marginalization, and genocide against Native Americans and other non-white populations in what is now California.
