In June 1846, a number of American immigrants in Alta California rebelled against the Mexican department’s government. The immigrants had not been allowed to buy or rent land and had been threatened with expulsion from California because they had entered without official permission. Mexican officials were concerned about a coming war with the United States coupled with the growing influx of Americans into California. The rebellion was soon overtaken by the beginning of the Mexican-American War. …The term “California Republic” indicated the insurgents aspiration of forming a republican government for California. The flag featured an image of a grizzly bear and became known as the Bear Flag and the revolt as the Bear Flag Revolt.
