Anglos captured Mexican soldiers and declared the Bear Flag Republic in 1846 in Sonoma, California. This insurrection was part of the broader California Republic movement during the Mexican-American War.

In 1846, Anglo settlers in California captured Mexican soldiers at Sonoma and declared the Bear Flag Republic.

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.
Mexican settlers in California were called Californios in the 1800s
The single star on the California flag represents California's status as an independent republic during the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846. The revolt was a rebellion by American settlers against Mexican rule, and the flag was designed to symbolize their desire for independence. The star is a nod to the California Lone Star Flag, reflecting the influence of the Texas Lone Star Flag, which also represents independence. The bear and the star together symbolize strength and independence in California's history.
The California Republic, also known as the Bear Flag Republic, lasted for a brief period from June 14 to July 9, 1846. It was established by American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule. The U.S. military later took control during the Mexican-American War, leading to California becoming a U.S. territory officially in 1848.
