The early generals, ranchers, and governors of California were Spanish. During that time there were indigenous tribes of native Americans living in California. But California was never Mexican. Yes California was a territory under Mexico, but Mexico was a Spanish territory and the people who controlled it were Spanish. They were not “Mexican”. These guys…
