The Goliad Massacre took place March 27, 1836, during the Texas Revolution. After the loss of lives at the Alamo, Sam Houston ordered the Colonel in charge of Goliad to move his troops to Victoria. The Mexican army caught up with them as they were on the March about two weeks later. Although Colonel James Fannin arranged for terms of surrender, they were not followed and the prisoners were executed under Santa Anna.
