California - Then and Now
« on: February 11, 2009, 09:51:28 AM »
Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 158 years ago?

1. California became a state.
2. The state had no electricity
3. The state had no money.
4. Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
5. There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically, it was just like California is today.

One thing you didn't mention is the colorful groups of people that play in the streets today. Gays lesbians and all sorts of strange folks.

I wonder how they would have been treated 158 years ago.
