In 1846 the Army of the West under Brigadier General Stephen Watts Kearny entered Santa Fe and captured the capital of New Mexico without firing a shot. Many New Mexicans, however, were not at all pleased with the new regime. They resented the invasion, the loss of sovereignty, and being cut off from Mexico. Members of some leading families in Santa Fe and Albuquerque began plotting a rebellion to take place in December 1846. In early 1847 Governor Bent and members of his administration were attacked and killed. Over the next six months Federal troops attacked the uprisings over New Mexico and as the leaders were killed the Rebellion died out in July 1848. A clean pristine copy.
