California
Americans led by John C. Frémont settled primarily in California during the mid-19th century, particularly during the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846. They aimed to establish a California Republic and sought to promote American interests in the region. Frémont's explorations and reports also contributed to the westward migration and the eventual incorporation of California into the United States.
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.
Fremont came into California to determine how strong the Mexican government and army were in California, but within a year the discovery of gold took care of the need to organize troops. Fremont took the Mexican Governor to Sutter's Fort to be held and raised the Bear Republic flag claiming California. By 1848 the gold seekers were flooding the state and on September 9,1850 California became a state.
The California Republic was declared after a successful Anglo rebellion led by John C. Fremont.
