The 49ers, a group of prospectors during the California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century, were primarily seeking gold and fortune. They flocked to California in hopes of striking it rich by mining gold, which was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848. The promise of wealth and economic opportunity drove thousands to the region, leading to rapid population growth and significant societal changes. Ultimately, the Gold Rush transformed California into a pivotal state in the U.S. economy and culture.
