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.
Instead, the Mexican commanding officer shot Fannin in the face, burned his body with the others and kept the timepiece as a war prize. Nearly 350 rebels were executed in the Goliad Massacre, almost twice as many as were killed at the siege of the Alamo.
