Who led the Mexican forces at the Battle of Glorieta Pass?

The Battle of Glorieta Pass, fought in March 1862 during the American Civil War, featured Mexican forces led by General Manuel Chavez. This battle was pivotal as it marked a significant engagement in the attempt of Confederate forces to expand into the western territories, and a crucial part of the larger campaign conducted by the Mexican Empire's supporters. Chavez played a key role in coordinating the Mexican forces during this engagement against Union troops.

The other figures listed were notable military leaders in different contexts and periods but were not involved in the Battle of Glorieta Pass. General Santa Anna, known for his leadership during the Mexican-American War, was not present at this battle. General Ignacio Zaragoza is best remembered for his role in the Battle of Puebla, which occurred several years later, and General José de Urrea is known for his actions during the Mexican-American War, particularly against Texian forces, rather than in the engagement at Glorieta Pass.
