The rebels in California during the Bear Flag Revolt were primarily supported by American settlers and frontiersmen, who sought to break away from Mexican rule. Key figures included William B. Ide and Ezekiel Merritt, who played significant roles in organizing the revolt. The Bear Flag was raised in June 1846, symbolizing their desire for independence and a future as part of the United States. The revolt ultimately contributed to California's annexation by the U.S. later that year.
