americans living in California attack sonoma claiming "the bear flag republic"
The American flag does not have a bear. It is stars and stripes, no animals.
In 1846, Anglo settlers in California captured Mexican soldiers at Sonoma and declared the Bear Flag Republic. This revolt was part of the larger context of the Mexican-American War, as American settlers in California sought independence from Mexican rule. The Bear Flag Republic was short-lived, as U.S. military forces soon took control of California.
The Californian revolt, also known as the Bear Flag Revolt, was led by a group of American settlers in California in 1846. Key figures included William B. Ide and Ezekiel Merritt, but the most notable leader was John C. Frémont, who was a U.S. Army officer and explorer. The revolt aimed to overthrow Mexican rule in California, and it resulted in the establishment of the short-lived California Republic.

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.
