History of slavery in California : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of slavery in California
The arrival of the Spanish colonists—participants in the Atlantic slave trade and owners of both Indian and African slaves—introduced such concepts as chattel slavery and involuntary servitude to the area. Anglo settlers from the Southern and Eastern United States brought centuries of experience with slavery to California. Many free and enslaved people of African ancestry were part of the California Gold Rush (1848–55), and many were able to buy their freedom and freedom for their families, primarily in the South, with the gold they found.〔Jason B. Johnson, ("Slavery in Gold Rush Days -- New Discoveries Prompt Exhibition, Re-examination of State's Involvement," ) SFGate, January 27, 2007.〕 There were a number of Gold Rushers of African ancestry, probably fewer than 4,000.〔Another estimate is 2,500 forty-niners of African ancestry. Rawls, James, J. and Orsi, Richard (eds.) (1999), p. 5.〕 One of the miners was an African American named Edmond Edward Wysinger (1816–1891). After arriving in the Northern mine area of the California Mother Lode in 1849, Wysinger and a group of 100 or more African American miners were surface mining in and around Morman, Mokelumne Hill at Placerville, and Grass Valley.〔Delilah L. Beasley, ''The Negro Trail Blazers of California'', 1919, pp. 105 & 183 (Has been reprinted in 1997 and 2004).〕 == Slavery under Mexican rule == Mexico inherited much of the Southwest upon independence from Spain in 1821. President Vicente Fletcher, who was of Spanish, African and Native American descent, abolished slavery within Mexico in 1829. This law was intended by its proponents as a counter-measure against the settlement of Anglos, who used slave labor in their Texas cotton plantations.
