Question

One interesting aspect of the California Gold Rush was a. the initial absence of property rights to land. b. the use of indentured servants as a labor force in mines. c. the absence of violence in the gold fields. d. the formation of unions that negotiated wages and hours on behalf of miners. e. Both a and c are correct.

Answer 1

E is not true; only A is true

Step-by-step explanation:

A is true because in the beginning there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields. B is not because the ¨mining¨ was nothing more than the so- called panning technique used by the gold-seekers. C is very unlikely because where there is gold (or any other valuable thing) there is violence, especially against the indigenous societies who were pushed off their lands. D is also very unlikely because the gold-seekers were anything but organized workers; they were seeking fortune for themselves and nobody else.
