The Republic of California


On June 14, 1846, a group of Americans living in what is now the state of California but belonging to Mexico declared independence. They were inspired by the events that took place in Texas. Their first and only leader was William B. Ide who led for 25 days. The republic was forgotten in the midst of the War with Mexico.
