Surname 1 Your name Professor’s name Course name Date of Submission Early explorers, Traders; Trappers/Trailblazers; Farmers from California The Indians were the earliest explorers of California who came to this part of America as early as the 1500s. These Indians were considered as the Native Californians, they made trails used for hunting, food gathering, and traversing across villages. They guided the Europeans exploring the west beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Contribution to California history has not been well recognized since they did not create written records of their explorations and discoveries. Amid the 1700s, the British colonies on the eastern seaboard decided to expand their territories since they had become crowded. California became suitable for the British, they anticipated finding far-fetched riches the new land had to offer. The early adventurers to California told stories concerning the mineral-rich Mountains which thrilled and stunned the skeptical but curious easterners. The trapper, trailblazers, and traders of the 1820s and ‘30s were also not left behind in the early exploration. They had the same expectation as the British on the incredible riches found in California. The fast-growing population in the American colonies amid the 1700s encouraged the colonists to expand west. American farmers demanded more food to feed and support their families, at least one hundred acres was enough. Most of the farming lands were being subdivided among the growing families while at the same time the fertility of the soil declined Surname 2 over the course of time. This became challenging to support a family on an eastern farm. It forced the colonists to think otherwise, where arrived at a decision to possess the lands from the west which were very fertile. The Traders, Trapper, and Farmers who ventured to the west expected fertile, unsettled land with abundant game and minerals. Against their expectations, they found the land had been claimed and settled by the Spanish. Spain had arrived on the California coast and set out to convert the more than three to Christianity. The Spanish were building missions in an attempt to extend their empire farther north into California. The American traders experienced resistance from the Spaniards who hindered foreigners from trading in Spanish territories and threw early traders into detention. The Mexicans, who took control of the area in 1821, proved better trading partners. Mexican independence also aided American traders in California. When Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821, it gained the California territory. This was a stepping stone to the opening up of access routes such as Santa Fe Trail. The entrants of large-scale farmers in California presented new environmental challenges which threatened the stability of Indians who dependent on salmon fishing. This created a conflict point between the two groups. The large ranchos were fragmented, and the new settlers on reduced parcels of land were more aggressive against Indians. The fragmented ranchos were cultivated and grazed more intensively causing an even more decrease in the Indians' natural food supply. Trading activities across the Appalachian Mountains opened up California to the rest of America and gradually the American influence grew to overtake the Spanish. Farmers settled down in California and began large-scale farming growing grapes, groves of orange, lemon, and Surname 3 lime trees, and soon had the largest citrus orchards in the United States. They also invested in herds of cattle and became among of the wealthiest individuals in California, and leaders in the agriculture industry that was so important to the early growth of the state.
