The early Christians were persecuted by the Romans. Christianity worships a single God who sent his Son to save the world. The Romans worshipped many gods, such as Jupiter, Minerva, Juno, etc. they had a god for emotions, food, battle strategy, marriage, victory, the list goes on. The Christians refused to worship these gods in the temples or take part in sacrifices or celebrations for the gods. The emporer Nero was a great persecutor of Christians, he ended up burning their part of the city. Early Christians were punished by floggings. The problems escalated. The Emperors imposed harder punishments. Christians were burned at the stake or fed to wild animals.
During the Bear Flag Revolt, from June to July 1846, a small group of American settlers in California rebelled against the Mexican government and proclaimed California an independent republic. The republic was short-lived because soon after the Bear Flag was raised, the U.S. military began occupying California, which went on to join the union in 1850. The Bear Flag became the official state flag in 1911.
