Image title | The Resaca de la Palma Battlefield, in Brownsville, Texas, preserved as a National Historic Site by the National Park Service. It was here, in May 1846 during the months leading up to the official declaration of war between the United States and Mexico, that the forces of Mexican general Mariano Arista, occupied this plain following their retreat from a nearby battlefield at Palo Alto. Arista, who held a superiority in numbers over American commander Zachary Taylor, hoped to force an infantry battle instead of the kind of artillery duel that had devastated his troops at Palo Alto. But a daring, headlong charge by American forces routed the Mexicans. The U.S. victory at Resaca de la Palma ended the Mexican siege of Fort Texas (later Fort Brown, preserved to this day elsewhere in Brownsville) and left the north bank of the lower Rio Grande firmly in U.S. hands. The battle also had an enormous effect on the morale of the two armies. With the official declaration of war still days away, the U.S. troops felt confident that they could defeat their foe at any place and in any numbers. According to a National Park Service account, Mexican troops were thrown off-balance by consecutive defeats and would never fully recover. |
