The next year, at the onset of the American Civil War War, the army abandoned Fort Defiance. Continued Navajo raids in the area led Brigadier General James H. Carleton to send Kit Carson to impose order. Carleton's "solution" was brutal: thousands of starving Navajo were forced to the Long Walk of the Navajo Walk and interned near Fort Sumner, New Mexico, much of their livestock was destroyed.
