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.
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.
A very small number of people declared themselves a Republic when the Mexican American War began. They were never recognised by any Nation.
