Script error. The Goliad Massacre, set in the town of Goliad on March 27, 1836, was an execution of Republic of Texas soldier-prisoners and their commander, James Fannin, by the Mexican Army. Despite the protests for clemency by General JosÃ© de Urrea, the massacre was reluctantly carried out by Lt. Colonel JosÃ© NicolÃ¡s de la Portilla under orders of the President of Mexico, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
About three weeks later Sam Houston led Texian forces to a surprise victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, his men screaming, âRemember the Alamo, remember Goliad!â as they attacked Mexican President Santa Anna and his troops.ecause of his poor judgment, the hubris of his men and chaos in the chain of command, Fannin led his men onto the prairie, overburdened with supplies and heavy artillery, only to run out of water and find himself at the mercy of Urrea's artillery after an intense battle March 19.
