Book Description
Excerpt from The Establishment of State, Government in California: 1846-1850 This work covers the period in California history from 1846 to 1850. In the introductory chapter I have attempted to trace, briefly, and in a very general way, the extension of American influence over the territory from an early date to the completion of the conquest. This is followed by a more detailed account of the period of military rule and the political unrest resulting therefrom. The work of the Convention of 1849 and the election, organization, and important enactments of the first Legislature have been given due consideration. Chapter eighteen deals with the admission of California into the Union, and in the final chapter will be found some statistics on the population and resources of the new state in 1850. The general impression that a group of southern politicians dominated the Convention of 1849 is contrary to fact as may be seen. The extensive eastern boundary was not supported by southern men any more than by northern, and the exclusion of the free negro was a question in which the man from the northern states was interested as much as the man from the South. The State Legislature, however, did finally send two proslavery men to represent California in the Senate of the United States.

Murder State
Author: Brendan C. Lindsay
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 080324021X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Euro-American citizenry of California carried out mass genocide against the Native population of their state, using the processes and mechanisms of democracy to secure land and resources for themselves and their private interests. The murder, rape, and enslavement of thousands of Native people were legitimized by notions of democracy—in this case mob rule—through a discreetly organized and brutally effective series of petitions, referenda, town hall meetings, and votes at every level of California government. Murder State is a comprehensive examination of these events and their early legacy. Preconceptions about Native Americans as shaped by the popular press and by immigrants’ experiences on the overland trail to California were used to further justify the elimination of Native people in the newcomers’ quest for land. The allegedly “violent nature” of Native people was often merely their reaction to the atrocities committed against them as they were driven from their ancestral lands and alienated from their traditional resources. In this narrative history employing numerous primary sources and the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on genocide, Brendan C. Lindsay examines the darker side of California history, one that is rarely studied in detail, and the motives of both Native Americans and Euro-Americans at the time. Murder State calls attention to the misuse of democracy to justify and commit genocide.
