Many of them came from countries where few people had immigrated to the United States in the past.Many Chinese males migrated to America at that time due to conflict, starvation, and a depressed economy in southeast China. The majority of them wished to become extremely wealthy and return to China. In the years 1849 to 1853, around 24,000 young Chinese males immigrated to California.
