The Republic of Sonora began in 1853 when a little over 200 men lead by the filibuster (freebooter to others) William Walker. It was to be all of Baja and Sonora with white leaders. Now Walker was forced out due to the strong response of Mexico, combined with lack of supplies. Yet his actions were rather popular in America. In fact when he was tried for starting an illegal war his jury aquitted him in under ten minutes.

Now WI Walker got his act together and figured out funding, supplies and even tried to train his "army" before heading off to take over lands in Mexico?
