José María Flores
General José María Flores (1818, New Spain – 1866) was an officer in the Mexican Army and was a member of ''la otra banda.'' He was appointed Governor and ''Comandante General'' ''pro tem'' of Alta California from 1846 to 1847, and defended California against the Americans during the Mexican-American War.
==Mexican-American War==
The American occupation of Alta California would have gone smoothly if Commodore Robert F. Stockton had accepted José Castro’s peaceful surrender during the Mexican-American War. However, Stockton did not trust the Californios and placed Archibald Gillespie in charge of Los Angeles. This decision would bring about a rebellion led by General José María Flores.
Captain José María Flores arrived in California in 1842. He was a secretary for Governor Manuel Micheltorena. He was a captain in Comandante General José Castro's military army. In August, 1846, Castro sent Flores to deliver a message to Stockton stating that Castro was willing to accede to the wishes of the United States. Stockton did not recognize Castro’s authority and rejected it. Castro, seeing no alternative, fled California. Governor Pío Pico followed shortly thereafter. Flores and other military officers were left behind in Los Angeles.
Stockton placed Lieutenant Archibald Gillespie in charge of Los Angeles. Gillespie exerted tyrannical control of the populace. Californios, upset by Gillespie’s iron grip, assembled a force to retake Los Angeles. Captain José María Flores, one of the officers, was chosen to act as ''comandante general''. Captain José Antonio Carrillo was made second in command, while Captain Andrés Pico, as ''comandante de escuadrón'', ranked third.
