Who Declared California independent in 1846?
Polk was the president, but the man who took the Mexican governor to Sutter's Fort and hoisted the Bear flag was John C. Fremont.
When did the Bear Flag Revolt end?
It wasn't really a revolt so much. John C. Fremont was sent to CA to see if he could round up support to take the government from Mexico. The first place he went was to John Sutter. Sutter was perfectly positioned, had connections, and had his fort. This was a hard decision for Sutter since he got his land from Mexico and it was a land grant and he swore allegiance to Mexico. Yet, he did decide to throw his support to Fremont. Once Fremont had this he went to Monterrey where the governor was located and took him prisoner. He then sent him to Sutter to be held at his fort. As soon as Fremont had the governor things pretty well fell into place. He raised the Bear Flag over Monterrey and the republic was established. There were a few small incidents with Americans and the Mexican army in the mountains outside of LA, but it wasn't much. The President also had ships anchored off shore just in case there were problems. Soon after the gold rush started and CA became a state on Sept. 9, 1850.

Who replaced the California bear flag with the flag of the US?
The CA flag is the "Bear" flag. It still flies everyday over the state. When CA became a state on Sept. 9th 1850 the US flag was added and both are used. The flag was designed and sewn by a little girl and commissioned by John C. Fremont. The story goes that when he captured the state from the Mexican government and took the governor captive he had the flag made to fly over Monterey The story states that the red stripe on the bottom first came from the petticoat of the girl who made it. By-the-way one reason why a bear was used on the flag is because in the early days of the state bears roamed the state and could be found in most regions. The Spanish use to capture them, dig a pit, and put a bear and bull together to watch the outcome. The bear population of the state is smaller and to see one you usually have to go into the high country. To shoot and hunt a bear takes a special hunting permit. To observe a bear is a real experience.
