Answer 1

Answer:

For a quarter century after the achievement of Mexican independence in 1821, California was a remote northern province of the nation of Mexico. ... Traders and settlers from the United States began to arrive, harbingers of the great changes that would sweep California during the Mexican American War of 1846-1848.
