The main reason was that people heard about gold in California and wanted to mine for it to make their fortune.

Solución

The primary reason tens of thousands of men traveled to the West Coast was the California Gold Rush. In 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in California, sparking a massive migration as people from all over the world sought to find fortune through mining. This event significantly contributed to the rapid population growth and economic development of California.
Correct Answer:
© These men heard about gold in California and wanted to make their fortune by mining for it.

Bonus Knowledge

In the mid-19th century, news of gold discoveries in California spread like wildfire, sparked by the famous 1848 discovery at Sutter’s Mill. This ignited the California Gold Rush, prompting an influx of hopeful prospectors, known as “forty-niners,” who believed they could strike it rich by mining gold, forever changing the landscape and economy of the West Coast.
Of course, it wasn’t just about picking up a pickaxe and digging; many entrepreneurs saw the Gold Rush as an opportunity to make money by supplying miners with essential tools, food, and other goods. Sam Brannan famously capitalized on this, famously selling shovels and tools while proclaiming that gold had been found, which helped him amass a fortune of his own!
