Question

Why was the early West considered a "crossroads of culture"?

 Mexico originally owned the land, so the cultures of Americans, Mexicans, and Native Americans were all present in the West.
 The California Gold Rush brought in people from all over the world, which resulted in cultural diffusion among the settlers there.
 California was known to accept many forms of religion and ethnicities, so people from different cultures migrated there to start new lives.
 Those settlers who brought slaves with them to the West created cultural interactions between Native Americans, African Americans, and themselves.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what's your reasoning for either B or C?

anonymous · Answer

I thought it was B, because everyone heard about the gold and came to look for it...

anonymous · Answer

c-I dont even know, it sounds like an accurate-ish answer lol

anonymous · Answer

So, i would like to believe it's B.

anonymous · Answer

is it c? I feel like you are hesitating

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

B is the better answer because gold did attract a wide variety of people, which created a melting pot, so to speak

C is not true unfortunately. A lot of people were hostile towards foreigners, so acceptance didn't come easy
