The Second Battle of Goliad
The first one, during the Texas Revolution, ended in a massacre of Texas troops. Or should it properly be called an execution? How an unlikely war of words has opened cultural and racial rifts in a historic Texas town.

The Mexican Army throughout its’ history has long been known to have been without Honor on many occasions..this was one of them, albeit a tyrant of a General who starved his own men..this incident is "Honorably" known as murder. I commend the study and honoring the long and great history of Goliad, Texas, but please do not dwell on one incident, and do not pretend or attempt to rewrite the very real words of our history...has nothing to do with race, but in fact deals with the feelings of both armies at the time, would you deny this to those who endured? The fact is we are all individually imbued with our own rich history no matter if it is American, Irish, Mexican, Texan, or Italian... that cannot be changed..please try not to put words in the mouths of people who long ago fought so we have the opportunity to look back on Texas History and please to remember also, there were a great number of Mexican Texans who fought and died in the Massacre.
