It was based in Baja California and also claimed Sonora. Walker's actions generated interest back in San Francisco, where bonds for the Republic of Sonora were sold, and its flag was even raised in places. His enterprise, however, suffered from a lack of supplies and discontent from within; the Mexican government quickly forced Walker to retreat.
