Back in 1846, 29 men overthrew Mexico’s military presence in Sonoma, CA. For 25 days California was it’s own Republic. It was called the Bear Flag Revolt.!!! The reason for the word Republic on the flag today. California and Texas were their own nations at the time.
The "Bear Flaggers" made their own flag. A California grizzily bear and a star in association with the other Republic, Texas.
*25 days later, the United States started the War with Mexico and declared California as U.S. territory.
