The Bears took control of Sonoma and created a new flag. The flag had a star, a grizzly bear, and the words " California Republic."
Ezekiel Merritt led the Bear Party from the Sacramento Valley to Sonoma where they arrived at dawn on June 14, 1846. They declared to General Vallejo that they had no leader, and indeed they elected first John Grigsby as their leader in Sonoma. Upon Grigsby's declaration that he wished to return to the Sacramento Valley once again, William Ide was chosen as the civil commander and Henry Ford as the military commander. When John C. Fremont and his men joined the Bear Party in Sonoma, he was declared the head of the commander of the Bear Party on July 3.
A very small number of people declared themselves a Republic when the Mexican American War began. They were never recognised by any Nation.
The grizzly bear symbolizes "great strength" while the lone star is a reference to the lone star of Texas.Before Ca. adopted the Bear Flag in 1846, the state flag was the California Lone Star Flag, adopted in 1836. It consisted of a single red star centered on a white backdrop. It was inspired by California's first revolt against Mexican rule.
