Answer:

The Confederacy seized Val Verde, continued up the Rio Grande, and within weeks, captured Albuquerque and Santa Fe before stopping at the Battle of Glorieta Pass on March 28.

Explanation: The Confederacy's goal was to take Union mines for their treasury and claim territory they thought was rightfully theirs. They moved in on southern New Mexico and captured many towns. They later surround the fort, beating all possible odds. The Union soldiers are forced to retreat with 68 killed, 160 wounded and 35 missing. The "Rebels" (Another term used to address the Confederates) only suffered 31 killed, 154 wounded, and 1 missing. A bloody battle to say the least.

Answer:

The Confederate troops under Sibley quickly advanced up the Rio Grande. On the 21st of February, 1862, Union and Confederate forces first met at Val Verde. The confederate victory forced a hasty Union retreat to the north. On February 23, the Confederate forces marched around the Union Army and headed for Albuquerque. The Union troops knew the Confederate forces would use the supplies stored in Albuquerque, so the Union soldiers burned their supply depot to the ground.

What is one political, social, and economic change caused by the civil war
larisa [96]

Economic: The south lost much of its agricultural land due to it being destroyed in battles, and the loss of slavery meant serious economic downfall because their industry relied heavily on slave labour. However, the North was more industrialised, so it benefitted from the added railroad and the manufacture of wartime products.

Social: 2% of the population was killed; many lost loved ones and family members. Also, racial prejudice resulted in the formation of the KKK by many whites who were angry that African-Americans had been freed-- as well as the Jim Crow laws being enforced

Political: 13th, 14th and 15th amendments passed in the constitution
