November 1853 CE

Walker succeeds in capturing La Paz, the capital of sparsely populated Baja California, which he declares the capital of a new Republic of Lower California, with himself as president and his former law partner, Henry P. Watkins, as vice president.

He now puts the region under the laws of the American state of Louisiana, which makes slavery legal.
