THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA – in 13 Minutes
The first known European to reach the gorgeous coasts of California was Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Cabrillo’s expedition had been launched from modern-day Mexico, known then as the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and ended up in San Diego Bay. The expedition was rather fruitless, however, as Cabrillo failed to discover anything that he viewed as worth the trouble for Spain to colonize. He left, and California remained untouched by European hands. Occasional ships, such as those from the Spanish East Indies traders would at times touch down on California’s coasts, but the idea of colonizing the territory still remained unconsidered. Even when English explorer Francis Drake plundered his way into Oregon and California, claiming the lands for his homeland, no real settlement of any sort was actually set up.

3:00 so, by Kirk separating Jewish identity from white identity, this in itself implies that unless you’re Christian, you can’t be considered white.
We should have kept pushing South. Mexico is garbage.
history shown is seriously flawed. They show a map which does not include the revolution establishing the Texas Republic, an d fail to mention that the missions were taken over by the Mexican Military.
He forgot Sacramento the state capitol
You forgot to mention how California totally wiped out certain Native American tribes. The state also has Irish and Chinese slaves and critical oppressive laws against certain ethical groups. To add, California was behind the concentration camps pushing the federal government to round up the American innocent Japanese and send them to other states during the war: lastly, a lot of Mexican farmers got their land taken illegally by the California government
So we're gonna leave out the Russian influence around the 1810's? Ft ross?
