    Apparently there are some connections between California and the Civil War.  Here are some:

    Ulysses S. Grant IV, a grandson of the Civil War general and U.S. president, was a geology professor at UCLA.More than 30 Confederate soldiers are buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery.Rosecrans Avenue was named for Union Army general (and later Los Angeles-area resident) William Rosecrans.

    Main one was a pot load of gold that needed to get into the Union coffers to pay for the war…part of the Compromise of 1850 bring CA in as a free state (gold included).
