The Battle of Laredo was fought during the American Civil War. Laredo, Texas was a main route to export cotton to Mexico on behalf of the Confederate States. On March 18, 1864, Major Alfred Holt led a union army of about 200 men from Brownsville, Texas to destroy 5,000 bails of cotton stacked at the San Agustín Plaza. Colonel Santos Benavides commanded 42 Confederate soldiers and repelled three union attacks at Zacate Creek. Colonel Santos Benavides secured passage of the 5,000 cotton bails into Mexico
