September
Armed rebels storm Fort San Carlos at Baton Rouge early in the morning on September 23, 1810 and kill two Spanish soldiers.
The rebels unfurl the flag of the new republic, a single white star on a blue field.
After the successful attack, organized by Philemon Thomas, plans are made to take Mobile and Pensacola from the Spanish and incorporate the eastern part of the province into the new republic.
Thomas, born in Virginia, had served in the American forces during Revolutionary War and later moved to Kentucky.
He was a member of Kentucky's Constitutional Convention and served in the state House and state Senate before moving to Louisiana in 1806.
