I'll give you a quick run down.
Native Americans have been settled in California for thousands of years and didn't come into contact with the old world until Europeans started exploring in the 1500s. English and Spanish explores ventured into the area but only Spain got a foothold in the area. The Spanish Empire claimed the land as their own and set up 21 missions along the coast in order to convert the natives in the late 1700s. Russia also made their way all the down to California at around this time but they didn't really do much besides trade and make small settlements. Once Mexico got their independence from Spain California was now a part of Mexico. Eventually, once the USA expanded west enough, Mexico and the USA fought a war and California became a part of the USA. California wasn't really populated by many people until it became a part of the USA. A big reason why it became populated was the Gold Rush that happened in the mid 1800s. Since then it has become the most populous and prosperous state in the USA.

History of California? As far as I know it was here when I moved to Southern California on December 31st, 1999.
Nowadays it is filled with loads of people I don't really identify with and there is even talk of it breaking away from the Union.
LMAO I would never vote for something so asinine

California has a 0% chance of becoming independent anyway.

I sincerely doubt that anything like that would or even could ever transpire but it still feels a little weird to hear people talk about it as if it were a serious idea, right? Not that any of these people talking about it are credible for one reason or another, just to hear the talk sounds a bit funny to me.

We now have more poor people than the rest of the nation; we have a lower standard of living than the rest of the nation; we have more illegal aliens than the rest of the nation; those things are not independent of each other.
It started with a gold rush, and ended as a land grab. We have land here that is worth $22,000 per square foot.

It's all reactionary. No one wanted "Texit" after Trump won.
