	Battle of Resaca de la Palma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, one of the early engagements of the Mexican-American War, U.S. General Zachary Taylor engaged the retreating forces of the Mexican Ejército del Norte ("Army of the North") under Gen. Mariano Arista on May 9, 1846.
		During the night of May 8, following disappointments at the Battle of Palo Alto, Arista chose to withdraw to the far more defensible position of Resaca de la Palma, a dry riverbed (resaca is the Spanish term for a dry riverbed), and establish himself while waiting for Taylor's next move.
		Arista's carefully laid plans for engaging the Americans at Resaca were, however, somewhat diluted due to political infighting in the Mexican officer corps and difficulty communicating in the rough terrain of the battlefield.

		The Battle of Resaca, fought on May 14-15, 1864, was the first major battle of the Atlanta Campaign.
		The Battle is historically significant as it marked a missed opportunity by Union forces to cut off General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee from its line of communications.
		Resaca thus set into motion the events of Johnston’s classic “Fabian” strategy of retreat and Sherman’s constant use of flanking actions that have caused the Campaign for Atlanta to be among the most studied military endeavors in world history.
