What was the dispute in Sonoma California between Mexican and American settlers?

The dispute in Sonoma, California, primarily revolved around land ownership and cultural tensions between Mexican settlers and American immigrants during the mid-19th century. As American settlers moved into California, they often disregarded Mexican land laws and claimed territory that had been granted to Mexican landowners. This led to conflicts over land rights, culminating in the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846, where American settlers declared California an independent republic, further escalating tensions between the two groups. The subsequent U.S. military intervention and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 ultimately resulted in California becoming part of the United States, formalizing the loss of land for many Mexican residents.
