How many towns or cities are named Goliad in the US?
In the United States, there is one prominent town named Goliad, located in Texas. It is known for its historical significance, particularly related to the Texas Revolution. While there may be smaller communities or unincorporated areas with the same name, Goliad, Texas, is the most recognized and officially designated location.
What was the date of the Goliad Massacre?
The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution. In the early-morning hours of October 10, 1835, rebellious Texas settlers attacked the Mexican Army soldiers garrisoned at Presidio La Bahía, a fort near the Mexican Texas settlement of Goliad. La Bahía lay halfway between the only other large garrison of Mexican soldiers (at San Antonio de Béxar) and the major Texas port of Copano. In September, Texians began plotting to kidnap Mexican General Martín Perfecto de Cos, who was en route to Goliad to attempt to quell the unrest in Texas. The plan was initially dismissed by the central committee coordinating the rebellion. However, within days of the Texian victory at the Battle of Gonzales, Captain George Collingsworth and members of the Texian militia in Matagorda began marching towards Goliad. The Texians soon learned that Cos and his men had already departed for San Antonio de Béxar but continued their march. The garrison at La Bahía was understaffed and could not mount an effective defense of the fort's perimeter. Using axes borrowed from townspeople, Texians were able to chop through a door and enter the complex before the bulk of the soldiers were aware of their presence. After a 30-minute battle, the Mexican garrison, under Colonel Juan López Sandoval, surrendered. One Mexican soldier had been killed and three others wounded, while only one Texian had been injured. The majority of the Mexican soldiers were instructed to leave Texas, and the Texians confiscated $10,000 worth of provisions and several cannons, which they soon transported to the Texian Army for use in the Siege of Béxar. The victory isolated Cos's men in Béxar from the coast, forcing them to rely on a long overland march to request or receive reinforcements or supplies.
Is James Fannin a hero?
James Fannin is often viewed as a tragic figure rather than a traditional hero. He was a commander at the Battle of Coleto during the Texas Revolution and ultimately surrendered to Mexican forces. Despite his intentions to fight for Texas independence, his leadership decisions led to the capture and execution of himself and many of his men at Goliad, which became a rallying point for Texan forces. While some may admire his bravery and sacrifice, his legacy is complex and viewed differently depending on one's perspective on the events of the Texas Revolution.

How did the Alamo affect the Texans independence?
While tactically insignificant for Mexico & strategically useless for the Texian Army, the Alamo nonetheless effectively pissed off every single inhabitant of Texas & created a unified front against Mexican aggression, despite the battle ending with a Texian loss. Beneficially for Texan Indepence, the Alamo became a rallying cry & motivation for Texian soldiers during battle. What is less widely known is how the Goliad Massacre of Texian POW's & its aftermath affected the Texas War for Independence, becoming a rallying cry in much the same way as did the Alamo. "Remember the Alamo!" & "Remember Goliad" were heard on the battlefield of San Jacinto by Texians under General Sam Houston, a battle which ended the war & brought about establishment of the Republic of Texas.
