Reaction in the United States During the American Civil War tremendous resources were expended to defend Washington D.C which bordered on the Confederate States of America (with the Commonwealth of Virginia) from Confederate attack even though the relatively small federal government could easily have been moved elsewhere Likewise great resources were expended by the Confederacy in defending the Confederate capital from attack by the Union in its exposed location of Richmond Virginia barely 100 miles (160 km) south of Washington D.C, New Orleans became nationally important as a slave market and port as slaves were shipped from there upriver by steamboat to plantations on the Mississippi River; it also sold slaves who had been shipped downriver from markets such as Louisville by 1840 it had the largest slave market in North America it became the wealthiest and the fourth-largest city in the nation based chiefly on the slave trade and associated businesses the trading season was from September to May after the harvest.

In Santa Fe Governor Manuel Armijo wanted to avoid battle but on August 9 Catholic priests Diego Archuleta (the young regular-army commander) and the young militia officers Manuel Chaves and Miguel Pino forced him to muster a defense. Armijo set up a position in Apache Canyon a narrow pass about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the city. However on August 14 before the American army was even in view he decided not to fight (An American named James Magoffin claimed he had convinced Armijo and Archuleta to follow this course; an unverified story says he bribed Armijo.) When Pino Chaves and some of the militiamen insisted on fighting Armijo ordered the cannon pointed at them the New Mexican army retreated to Santa Fe and Armijo fled to Chihuahua. .
