  • Prologue to the siege: In Sonoma, CA and on June 14, 1846, the California Republic was founded by John C. Fremont. On July 1st, 1846, Fremont and a number of his men rowed from the port of Sausalito to the fort Castillo de San Joaquin. Seizing the unmanned fort, he and his troops sabotaged the cannons, just in case they would be used against them in future conflicts. The capture: On July 7, 1846, the USS Portsmouth sailed into Yerba Buena Cove. (Yerba Buena was the original name for San Francisco.) Captain John B. Montgomery, along with a group of soldiers and sailors, planted the American flag in the ground and claimed the land for the US. The Mexican soldiers didn't fire a shot, for the American troops outnumbered them. Montgomery then ordered companies to capture the Presidio of San Francisco and the Castillo de San Joaquin. They were both captured without resistance from the Mexican forces. The USA now controlled San Francisco, and more of California would follow.
