Why was California's entry into the Union delayed?

What step did Californians take to apply for statehood? When was California admitted?

How might the history of California have been different if the Gold Rush had not happened?

Who were the leaders of the Mormons and why did they go west to Salt Lake City?

Answers:

1.) California's entry to the Union was delayed because sadly, the California constitution actually banned slavery and this caused a crisis in Congress.

2.) So, to actually apply for statehood, the Californians first had to write and then approve their constitution. After it has been approved, the people had to elect a governor and also state legislators. California was officially admitted as a state in September 1850.

3.) California wouldn't be diverse at all. It wont be unique as it it right now. there would be no other people from other countries that actually want to go there. Also, if it would not have actually very quickly.

4.) Brigham young one of the leaders of the Mormons. He had over 50 wives! No, They went to the west to Salt Lake City so they could escape religious discrimination.
