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.
Fannin, however, lacked the same urgency as the orders he received on March 14, 1836. The finely bred, West Point-trained officer lingered for days as a 1,400-man army led by Santa Annaâs chief lieutenant, General Jose de Urrea, closed in on Goliad.
