The conquest of California came when a treaty was signed at the Rancho de Cahuenga. (Ca-wen-ga). The next act will be the Californians and Fremont at the Rancho de Cahuenga.
Fremont: General Flores, General Vallejo, General Pico, and Californians: You know why you have been called to this meeting?
General Flores: Yes, Captain Fremont, we know why we have been called. If we sign a treaty, and promise not to take up arms against the United States we will be pardoned for revolting.
Fremont: Yes, you will be pardoned under those conditions. Do you promise?
Californians: We promise.
Fremont: Very well, sign here.
(They sign.)
Fremont: That will do, you are pardoned. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Californians: Good afternoon, Captain Fremont.
