Regardless of ethnicity, those who migrated to join the Gold Rush were predominantly:

Criminals
European immigrants
Entire communities
Christians
Single men

Explanation

Answer: E - The majority of those who came for the Gold Rush were single men. Some were running from their obligations, whereas others hoped to bring their families later. This allowed for women to have far greater entrepreneurial opportunities in the West than they would in other regions, since this sudden influx of single men created a large demand in the service industry.
