Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Battles at Glorieta Pass marked the end of Confederate attempts to take the New Mexico Territory. The other options are incorrect because they either took place in a different region (battle for the Cimarron) or were not related to the Confederacy's attempts to take New Mexico (battles of Fort Yuma and Battle of Shiloh).
