		The Battle of Valverde (February 20â€“21, 1862), fought in and around the town of Valverde in the New Mexico Territory, was a major Confederate success in the New Mexico Campaign of the American Civil War, despite having to leave later after the Battle of Glorieta Pass, which was a major Union victory.

		Although the Confederates would soon occupy Santa Fe, they would have to leave New Mexico Territory within 3-4 months, retreating to El Paso, Texas, what was the starting point of the campaign.
