The Commanche were a dominant force in the West. They were known for their raids along the Texas border and into Mexico. They dominated the Comancheria, which were areas in New Mexico, west Texas and surrounding areas controlled and occupied by the Commanche up to 1860. After the Civil War ended, attempts to pacify Native American populations were in full swing. Increasingly, the need to settle the West, the discovery of gold, the development of the transcontinental railroad led to conflict. The hostilities of Americans toward the Comanche led them to fight.
