The Battle of the Alamo and the Massacre at Goliad.
The Goliad Massacre occurred on March 27, 1836, during the Texas Revolution, when Mexican forces executed approximately 400 Texian prisoners of war near Goliad, Texas. Led by General José de Urrea, the massacre was ordered by General Santa Anna, who aimed to suppress the Texian rebellion. The event galvanized support for the Texian cause, contributing to the rallying cry "Remember Goliad!" that fueled subsequent battles. It remains a significant and somber chapter in Texas history, symbolizing the struggle for independence from Mexico.
The mass executions at the Alamo and Goliad during the Texas Revolution were primarily ordered by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican president and military leader. After the Texian forces surrendered at the Alamo in March 1836, Santa Anna's troops executed the remaining defenders. Similarly, at Goliad, after the Texian surrender, Santa Anna ordered the execution of about 400 Texian prisoners, an event known as the Goliad Massacre. These actions fueled anger and resistance among Texians, ultimately contributing to their fight for independence.
Involved in the Goliad Massacre were the Mexican Army, acting under the orders of General and President Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and soldiers of the Republic of Texas held prisoner by the Army of Mexico. General Jose de Urrea objected to the orders, but Lt. Colonel José Nicolás de la Portilla followed the orders and had his med kill the prisoners.
The Goliad Massacre was March 27, 1836. James Fannin was there because he was the leader of the Goliad forces. When they surrendered all of them were taken captive until Santa Anna ordered for them all, including Fannin, to be killed resulting in the Goliad Massacre.

Well at First Texans thought of Santa Anna as sly and clever. After this, they thought of Santa Anna as Cruel. This caused the "Runaway Scrape"
This 1835 battle was fought during the Texas Revolution. There was a massacre; Santa Ana's troops killed all prisoners.
Why I think the Goliad Massacre was fought is because... I think Santa Anna wanted Texas to give up so he kept sending people to fight the Texans. Why he kept sending people to fight the Texans is because he wanted them to lose so Texas would stay part of Mexico.
The Alamo. If you can call that a battle. And he slaughtered prisoners at the Goliad Massacre in 1836. He was probably the worst leader in earth history.

Fanning began to march with about 600 men to support the Alamo and her defense. They were bogged down by rain and mud and eventually trapped by Santa Anna and his army. They surrendered to Santa Anna and on a Sunday morning, they were taken out into the fields and executed by firing squad.
