From Utah, they sent out exploration parties to find land the whites would vomit over. They found it in the deserts of Arizona, California, and Nevada. Not all moved to those locations however.

In response to the massive exodus, the United States launched a war for control of Mexico which includes California of course. | *'''1846-1847: '''Another large exodus commenced in 1846-1847.
