One battle in this war saw one side weakened when their animals were led to Fort Craig after they stampeded in search of water. Another battle in this war included John Chivington's raid on enemy supplies at Johnson's Ranch and begun when Charles Pyron attacked from his camp in Apache Canyon. Those battles at Valverde and Glorieta Pass preceded Henry Sibley's retreat from Santa Fe and Albuquerque in this war's (*) western theater. A controversy during this war erupted after the seizure of diplomats James Mason and James Slidell. One side in this war employed Samuel Du Pont in an attempt to blockade its enemy's ports that also included the capture of Fernandina in Florida; proposed by Winfield Scott, that effort was termed the Anaconda Plan. For 10 points, name this war that led to the downfall of the Confederate States of America.
