He says a group of union soldiers divided and cut off a supply line, which forced the confederate soldiers to fall back and end the New Mexico campaign. After the battle, most of the southwest was controlled by the union. Andonian says this was important because it prevented the confederate army from expanding to the west coast and kept them from taking control of the gold in Colorado and California.
