Without the existance of a government there could've been no eminent domain.

^^^^^^^Of course later in California, they paid us for it at 25 cents an acre.^^^^^^^^^^^

And did they accept or refuse that price?

One could have refused the money but why would they just let the same government that stole the land keep the money, even if it was pennies? As far as 'the price' goes, there was not bargaining. Just like it will be when they take your place. Here is how the bargaining goes: My place is worth one million dollars. Oh, well, here is the 100,000 we say it is worth.
