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 Goliad Campaign refers to a series of battles which occurred in 1836 as part of the Texas Revolution, which ultimately led to the Goliad

At Goliad during the Texas Revolution in 1836, approximately 350 Texian prisoners were executed by Mexican forces under General José de Urrea on March 27, an event known as the Goliad Massacre. This occurred after the Texian army had surrendered, and it was part of a broader campaign by the Mexican government to suppress the Texian rebellion. The massacre sparked outrage and became a rallying cry for Texian forces, famously encapsulated in the slogan "Remember Goliad!"
The statement "I commanded 400 Texans at Goliad" is attributed to Colonel James Fannin. He was a key figure during the Texas Revolution and led the Texan forces at the Battle of Coleto near Goliad in March 1836. Fannin and his troops ultimately surrendered to Mexican General José de Urrea, leading to the tragic Goliad Massacre.
