The representatives were mainly divided into two groups: The Republicans, which were made up of mainly [[Dixe|Southern Americans]], supported continuing the California Republic, while the Royalists, which were mainly made up of [[Columbia|Northern Americans]], supported creating a monarchy and abolishing the Republic. | ||
