About the Gold Rush: How many people went? Who found the first Gold? How much gold was found? How much were they paid for it?
John Marshall in 1848 found the first gold. About 300,000 people came. According to Wikipedia "one small group of prospectors, working on the Feather River in 1848, retrieved a sum of gold worth more than $1.5 million by 2006 prices" For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Gold_Rush Also this site is very interesting! http://www.museumca.org/goldrush/
Who discovered California?
Probably, Indians. BUT...According to http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/9280: Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo was the Portuguese explorer who discovered California on 9-28-1542 when he sailed into the bay that would eventually be called San Diego. Cabrillo Day is celebrated in San Diego each year around the 28th of September and includes Portuguese music, dancing, and a renactment of the discovery of the San Diego Bay.
Why was it named California?
No one knows! According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_name_California: Several origins have been suggested for the word "California," including Spanish, Latin, South Asian and Aboriginal American origins. All of these are disputed.
Who discovered Washington?
Again, probably Indians. But the first European was most likely French.
Why do many people want guns? I don't understand.
Me neither!! The only reason I can understand is to go hunting or to shoot wild animals around if you live in the country. The only one in my family who had a gun was my brother, because he lived in the country and there were bears...

Interesting question. I think most people truly want peace, but many people think that they sometimes have to fight to get peace and freedom. That's the best I can answer!

Yes, I think so, now. But there was still discrimination when I was a child, and in some places there may be a little discrimination still. But yes, everyone is free.
Where is Lincoln from?
He was born in Kentucky, and as a child he studied very hard by candlelight! Kentucky was a "border state" between the North and the South.
What people were slaves?
Interesting question. Of course most were Black people from Africa, and then their children....but there were also some poor White slaves!
Have you ever been to Alabama?
No I've never been to the Deep South yet! I would like to go, because I like "Gone with the Wind"
