Product Information
It has always been understood that the 1848 discovery of gold in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada influenced the battle over the admission of California to the Union. But now, in this revelatory study, award-winning historian Leonard L. Richards makes clear the links between the Gold Rush and many of the regional crises in the lead-up to the Civil War. Richards explains how Southerners envisioned California as a new market for slaves and saw themselves importing their own slaves to dig for gold, only to be frustrated by California's passage of a state constitution that prohibited slavery. Still, they schemed to tie California to the South with a southern-routed transcontinental railroad and worked to split off the southern half as a separate slave state. We see how the Gold Rush influenced the squabbling over the Gadsden Purchase, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and various attempts to take Cuba and Nicaragua. We meet David Broderick, a renegade New York Democrat who became a force in San Francisco politics in 1849, and his archrival William Gwin, a major Mississippi slaveholder and politician who arrived in California with the intent of making it a slave state and himself one of its first senators. Richards recounts the Washington battles involving Taylor, Clay, Calhoun, Douglas, Davis, Webster, Fillmore, and others, as well as the fiery California political battles, feuds, duels, and perhaps outright murder as the state came shockingly close to being divided in two. When war did break out efforts were made to push California to secede, but there was little general enthusiasm for secession, and many prominent Southerners went off to join the Confederate Army. And with the South out of the Union, the Pacific Railroad Act passed, insuring a comfortably northern route.

Reviews
"Richards, a leading historian of 19th century America superbly illuminates gold rush California as a land in contention between national pro and antislavery lobbies in the decade leading up to the Civil War." -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Richards offers a broad panorama that moves seamlessly from the gold fields to the halls of congress. This is an excellent work of popular history that will add to the appreciation of a critical epoch in our national development." -Booklist "Brings to life a population of scheming officeholders, xenophobic Californians and frantic slaveholders, all of whom resorted to the ultimate frontier solution: violence.' -Kirkus Reviews "An engrossing chronicle of the political intrigues that engulfed California in the 1850s, when pro-Southern legislators there angled to turn the state's newfound wealth to the benefit of the slave economy." -The Atlantic "The important back-story of the Gold Rush, according to gifted historian Leonard Richards, is political and racial. Mr. Richards contends in this insightful new book,The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil Warthat for every fortune seeker who viewed California as a place to get rich discovering gold, another believed it a place to get rich exporting, utilizing, or trafficking in human slaves. . . . [A] gripping book." -The New York Sun "Richards meticulously catalogs details of 19th-century American legislation that nonspecilaists won't have thought about since high school: the Missouri Compromise, the Gadsden Purchase, the Kansas-Nebraska Act. But when he places the actors center stage to reveal the motives behind the politics, the narrative approaches the Shakespearean." -Tennessean "With a mastery that brings even his bit players to life, Leonard Richards tells a gripping story about politics, business, violence, and the scoundrels who almost destroyed the United States. If you think you already know this story, you're in for some nice surprises. And if you don't, there's no better guide." -Robin L. Einhorn, author ofAmerican Taxation, American Slavery "Leonard Richards has once again produced a wonderful, entertaining, and informative account of antebellum politics. Most important, he shows the myriad forcesgreed, ambition, idealism, racism, patronage, migration, expansionismthat melded together to distance southerners from northerners. Any one reading this work will come away with a deep understanding of how the antagonism between free and slave labor systems constituted the volatile fuel that made the explosion of secession and civil war possible." -James L. Huston, author ofCalculating the Value of the Union: Slavery, Property Rights, and the Economic Origins of the Civil War "A truly rollicking book, full of colorful characters, duels, hard-rock miners, 'Chivs,' and back-stabbing politics. But its readability belies the centrality of these seemingly minor characters to the drama of the nation's sectional crisis. The Golden State can no longer be ignored by those wishing to tell the story of how the nation came to civil war." -Jonathan H. Earle, author ofJacksonian Antislavery and the Politics of Free Soil, 1824-1854 From the Hardcover edition., "Richards, a leading historian of 19th century America superbly illuminates gold rush California as a land in contention between national pro and antislavery lobbies in the decade leading up to the Civil War." -Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Richards offers a broad panorama that moves seamlessly from the gold fields to the halls of congress.

POSITIVE PLUS! I bought this book because the price was very good for a book describes VG. It's well above VG! It has an unmarked library 'return date' card inside the back cover (Hubbardston Library) that has no date entry. The dust jacket is pristine and is a shiny paper unlike the 2 others I bought (I liked it so much I kept one, bought another to pass on). The cover/pages are equally pristine. It has a ribbon page marker (bible style). I'm sure it's unread 'Ex Libris = SUPERB SELLER.
