===Chumash revolt of 1824=== After [[Mexico]] won the [[Mexican War of Independence]] in 1823, Spanish funding ceased to the [[Presidio of Santa Barbara|Santa Barbara Presidio]]. Many soldiers at the mission who were no longer being paid by the new Mexican government took out their frustrations on the local Chumash Indians. After a soldier apparently beat an Indian at nearby [[Mission Santa Inés]], the [[Chumash revolt of 1824]] began at that mission. It spread to La Purísima Mission, where the Chumash people took over the mission for one month until more soldiers arrived from [[Presidio of Monterey, California|Monterey Presidio]]. The Chumash lost their hold on the mission with many leaving the mission soon thereafter. Many of the Indians who had sought refuge in the neighboring mountains during the revolt returned to the mission. [[File:La purisima altar.jpg|thumb|The altar inside La Purísima Mission.]] Following independent Mexico's [[Mexican secularization act of 1833|secularization]] of the [[Alta California]] missions from 1834 to 1843, the buildings of La Purísima Mission were abandoned. The Mexican government, which had gained independence from Spain, transferred control of the missions from the [[Catholic Church]] to civil authorities. The property passed into private ownership and the mission buildings fell into ruin; the lands were granted to the [[Rancho Ex-Mission la Purisima]].
