What did immigrants do during the California Gold Rush?

Home More advice Politics & Law

I know they mined and all, but what did they do besides that? Like, what race started what? What did the chinese do and what did the mexicans do? Like, did they start their own businesses or movie theaters or something? Did they start their own banks? And how did immigration affect the economy and government? How did it change california in general? You dont have to answer all my questions, id appreciate just one....
