The Battle of the Alamo was a defeat at the hands of General Santa Anna who surrounded the Alamo Mission and killed most of the defenders inside. The defeat was heroic, however, and the Alamo became famous as a symbol of Texas courage and bravery.

The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution which ended in a Texan victory, not defeat. However, the Goliad massacre which occured about 5 months later was the execution of 342 Texas patriots by the Mexican Army. The brutal killing of the prisoners-of-war fueled anti-Mexican sentiments in Texas for many years to come.
