No. It started with the Thornton Affair.
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.
The Bear Flag Revolt took place in California, while Mexico still had control of it. While US and Mexico were feuding, John Fremont, a US army major, began encouraging the Americans living in Mexico's California to revolt. 33 people did, creating a flag for the "California Republic". The flag had a bear and a star on it, thus came the name "The Bear Flag Revolt".
