What city was the center of gold mining in the US before the discovery of gold at Sutters Mill in 1948 triggered the California gold rush?

Concord, North Carolina, was the site of the Reed Farm in Cabarrus County. Farmer John Reed (aka Johannes Reith, 1752-1845) operated a gold mining operation after his son found a large chunk of gold ore in 1799.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
