The New Mexico campaign during the American Civil War was led by Union Colonel Edward Canby. He commanded Union forces in the region, aiming to secure control over New Mexico and prevent Confederate advances. The campaign included significant battles such as the Battle of Glorieta Pass in 1862, which ultimately thwarted Confederate plans for expansion into the West.
