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.
The prisoners greatly embarrassed the commander of Goliad. They had, before fleeing, set fire to the town and no building had been left except the church now being used by the sick and wounded. The guard consisted only of the garrison which was much inferior in numbers to the prisoners, while the food supplies were barely sufficient for the most essential needs of the troops.
