On April 12, 1861, South Carolina artillery opened fire on Fort Sumter to start the American Civil War. While many gold seekers in the Colorado Territory held sympathies for the Confederacy, the vast majority remained fiercely loyal to the Union cause. An infantry and two cavalry regiments, as well an artillery battery, were sent to the support Union operations; others were raised for internal defense.

  • On April 12, 1861, South Carolina artillery opened fire on Fort Sumter to start the American Civil War. While many gold seekers in the Colorado Territory held sympathies for the Confederacy, the vast majority remained fiercely loyal to the Union cause. An infantry and two cavalry regiments, as well an artillery battery, were sent to the support Union operations; others were raised for internal defense. In 1862, a force of Texas cavalry invaded the Territory of New Mexico and captured Santa Fe on March 10. The object of this Western Campaign was to seize or disrupt the gold fields of Colorado and California and to seize ports on the Pacific Ocean for the Confederacy. A hastily organized force of Colorado volunteers force-marched from Denver City, Colorado Territory, to Glorieta Pass, New Mexico Territory, in an attempt to block the Texans. On March 28, the Coloradans and local New Mexico volunteers stopped the Texans at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, destroyed their cannon and supply wagons, and ran off 500 of their horses and mules. The Texans were forced to retreat to Santa Fe. Having lost the supplies for their campaign and finding little support in New Mexico, the Texans abandoned Santa Fe and returned to San Antonio in defeat. The Confederacy made no further attempts to seize the Southwestern United States. (en)
  • Aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique, le 12 avril 1861, l'artillerie de Caroline du Sud ouvrit le feu sur Fort Sumter et déclencha les hostilités de la guerre de sécession. Alors que de nombreux chercheurs d’or sur le territoire du Colorado avaient des sympathies pour la Confédération, la grande majorité restait farouchement fidèle à la cause de l’ Union . En 1862, une force de cavalerie du Texas envahit le territoire du Nouveau-Mexique et s'empara de Santa Fe le 10 mars. L'objectif de cette "Campagne du Nouveau-Mexique" était de saisir ou d'empêcher l'exploitation des champs aurifères du Colorado et de la Californie et de s'emparer des ports sur l'océan Pacifique pour la Confédération. Une force de volontaires du Colorado fut organisée à la hâte et se rendit à marche forcée de Denver City (territoire du Colorado ) à Glorieta Pass (territoire du Nouveau-Mexique) afin de bloquer les Texans. Le 28 mars, les Coloradans et les volontaires locaux du Nouveau-Mexique arrêtèrent les Texans à la bataille de Glorieta Pass, détruisirent leurs canons et leurs chariots de ravitaillement et mirent en fuite 500 chevaux et mules. Les Texans furent obligés de se retirer à Santa Fe. Ayant perdu leurs provisions pour leur campagne et trouvant peu de soutien au Nouveau-Mexique, les Texans durent abandonner Santa Fe et rentrèrent à San Antonio vaincus. La Confédération ne fit plus de tentative pour s'emparer du sud-ouest des États-Unis. (fr)
