The Goliad Massacre
On 27 March 1836, some 342 Texan soldiers were executed by the Mexican army in what would be known as the Goliad Massacre. This was in the opening phase of the Texas War for Independence. The majority of the Texican soldiers were Scots-Irish. Many of the settlers in Texas were from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas and predominately Scots-Irish.
