March 1836 CE
About three hundred and forty-two of the Texan troops captured during the Goliad Campaign, including Texan General James Walker Fannin, are executed a week later near the Presidio La Bahía on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1836, under Santa Anna's direct orders; this incident will become widely known as the Goliad Massacre.
Santa Anna, believing the rebellion crushed, moves eastward with his army.
