How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

The coordinates represent the central point of the Marrón-Hayes Adobe, the extant building of the historic district. These coordinates were obtained on July 1, 2014, using Google Earth’s GPS mapping grade unit. The coordinates’ datum is North American Datum 1983. Shelley Hayes Caron Residence The Marrón-Hayes Adobes Historic District is comprised of the extant Marrón- Hayes Adobe (ca. 1854, altered 1947) and the melted Hayes Adobe (constructed by ca. 1875 and added onto thereafter, deteriorating by 1930s, ruins only by 1965, no longer extant). The Marrón-Hayes Adobes Historic District was once part of Silvestre Marrón’s much larger 362-acre ranch (Figure 1). The Marrón- Hayes Adobes Historic District is significant for its association with Silvestre Marrón, one of the first non-Indian settlers of the present-day Oceanside- Carlsbad area, and John Chauncey Hayes, an influential late nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century lawyer, judge, newspaper man, farmer, real estate developer, and one of the founders of the city of Oceanside. The extant Marrón- Hayes Adobe is significant as a rare and intact example of a late Mexican-style adobe in San Diego County (1850-1906), as well as an excellent example of mid- twentieth-century (1947) Mission Revival architecture, which was a romanticized revival of the Spanish-Mexican architectural roots of San Diego.

The survey was conducted on August 22, 2013, and no new resources were observed, but one previously recorded site (not significant) was relocated. Ground visibility and modern human use hindered access throughout the project area (discussed below).Though no new resources were observed, the area encompassing the project is known to be sensitive in terms of cultural resources. Based on this, an archaeological monitor and a Native American monitor should be on-site during all grading and other ground- disturbing activities. This letter report details the methods and results of the current survey. Project Location The Talone Lake vector control project is located in the City of Oceanside, in northwestern San Diego County (Figure 1). The northwest portion of the project area is directly adjacent to State Route (SR) 76, the southern border of the project follows Frazee Road, and the western project area is bordered by College Boulevard (Figures 2 and 3). The San Luis Rey River lies less than ½ mile to the north, and Guajome Lake is located 1.3 miles to the east. The project is situated roughly 10 miles east of the present-day coastline of the Pacific Ocean.
