The Sutter's mill article is very general and broad lacks any detail about the mill. There are also very few sources. I plan to do more research to create a more detailed article along with adding sources to make the article more reliable.

Effect of the Sutter Mill.

The Sutter mill created a large mass of migration to California and the United States. After the finding of gold at the Sutter mill California change dramatically. California went for a small population of 14,000 of none natives to an estimated 85,000 newcomers to California in just a year. Many forms the eastern stated dropped everything they were doing to headed west in hopes of becoming rich. There was a significant mass of immigrants from multiple different countries with all the same goal. Roughly 60,000 Chinese immigrants, 7,000 Mexicans, and tens of thousands from many other different countries. This migration of people all to California created a vast diversity. Small villages and town had turned into bustling cities with all kinds of people. Cites and towns where popping up overnight all over California starting in 1849 into the early 50's. This created a handful of problems as the infrastructure for the number of people that had come was not there. These towns lacked sewage, police, fire departments and this created high death tolls. Fires were a regular occurrence and whipped out whole towns. People got sick, and diseases broke out from the lack sewage and sanitation. This caused a lot of deaths throughout California. People started to turn around and head home as they were no making money or the life was too hard for them out here. Many whites were not happy with the idea of all the foreigners taking their jobs. There where higher taxes for the foreigners and many hate crimes and riots towards the foreigners. These foreigners also helped shape California it to more of what it is today. It created a diverse state with many different ethnic groups. The Chinese immigrants contributed to the fishing industry while the Italians contributed to the development of the Napa valley wineries. Every culture has left an impact what California is today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Connor Sousa (talk • contribs) 21:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
