Overview[]
Sonora[]
The Republic of Sonora was an unrecognized, proclaimed federal republic that existed for a short period in 1853. Established by filibuster William Walker in the western Mexican regions of Baja California and Sonora, the republic was an illegal attempt by Walker to establish a slavery-supporting buffer colony that could eventually accede to the Union, in the same manner as the Republic of Texas. Although the project was popular at home in the United States, supplies were short and resistance by the Mexican military ultimately forced Walker to retreat and the republic to collapse.
William Walker[]
William Walker was a 19th century American filibuster notorious for his various expeditions into Latin and Central America. Walker came to national attention after being challenged to a duel by William Graham Hicks, the editor of the San Francisco Herald, whom he had strongly criticized. Walker was wounded and lost the duel, but gained a platform for his pro-slavery ideals. He began recruiting like-minded supporters of the Manifest Destiny doctrine, and in October 1853 marched with fewer than 50 men into Mexico to establish the Republic of Sonora. His later ventures would include expeditions to Central America, briefly becoming President of Nicaragua before eventually meeting his fate at the hands of the Honduran authorities.
Dawn of Man[]
None moreso than you, President William Walker - doctor, lawyer and soldier of fortune - embodies the spirit of Manifest Destiny. A charismatic leader, you brought 45 of your followers into the Mexican territory of Baja California, invading and successfully capturing the regional capital of La Paz. There you proclaimed the Republic of Sonora, a land fit to serve as a fortified frontier against the marauding natives. Though ultimately you were driven out by the Mexican army, your determination to expand the American South would fuel later adventures in Nicaragua.
