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!"
