A Moment in Route 66’s History The American Civil War Glorieta Pass Battle
Comments:
Just below the pavement along Route 66 near Santa Fe, New Mexico, lies the battleground of one of the most important and decisive encounters of the American Civil War: the Battle of Glorieta Pass (March 26-28, 1862). What at first appeared to be a Confederate victory ended up being a decisive triumph for the Union, accomplished through bravery, cunning, and sheer blind luck.
Sixty-four years before the creation of Route 66 and the countrywide unification it would bring, America was embroiled in a violent civil war over the most essential of issues: individual human rights and freedoms. The fate of America was also at hand; would the United States be a dissolvable confederation of sovereign states or unite as an indivisible nation with a national government. Without the success of the North, divisive issues like slavery would have continued to fracture the nation, and a unifying vision like Route 66 might have never been possible.
