Both free and enslaved California Pioneers of Pan African ancestry played major roles before, during and after the California Gold Mining Era (1840-1875) including nearly 1,918 US Colored Troops who enlisted from California.

Many California pioneers served during the US Civil War helping to preserve the Union and end chattel slavery throughout California and the nation.
