The New Mexico Militia, formed in the early 20th century, became involved in conflicts related to land disputes and local governance during a period of social and political tension. Albert Fall, who served as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, was implicated in corruption scandals involving the leasing of federal oil reserves, notably the Teapot Dome scandal. While the militia's activities were primarily focused on local issues, Fall's actions and the resulting federal investigations contributed to a broader atmosphere of unrest and distrust in government, impacting various groups, including local militias. The connection between Fall and the militia highlights the intersection of local and national political struggles during that era.
