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.


What event marked the end of the Bear Flag Revolt?

The Bear Flag Revolt, which began in June 1846, effectively ended with the arrival of U.S. military forces and the subsequent collapse of the insurgent government in California. The revolt concluded in early July 1846 when U.S. Navy Commodore John D. Sloat raised the American flag in Monterey, asserting U.S. control over California. This action solidified American authority and led to the formal annexation of California following the Mexican-American War.


How many states were republics prior to becoming states?

Before achieving statehood, several territories in the United States were recognized as republics. Notably, Texas was an independent republic from 1836 until it joined the Union in 1845. Additionally, California briefly declared itself a republic in 1846 during the Bear Flag Revolt before becoming a state in 1850. However, Texas is the most prominent example of a territory that functioned as a republic before statehood.
