General Sam Houston at the Battle of San Jacinto, although it was more of a slaughter than a battle. The Mexicans were caught completely by surprise and surrendered in a matter of minutes. Most of the Mexicans killed were either stabbed or clubbed rather than shot by the Texans, as vengeance for the Alamo and Goliad.
The statement refers to events during the Texas Revolution in 1836, when Mexican forces, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, attacked Texan rebels at the Alamo and Goliad. The massacres resulted in significant casualties among Texan forces, including a famous stand by defenders at the Alamo and the execution of prisoners at Goliad. These events galvanized Texan resistance and ultimately contributed to Texas gaining independence from Mexico later that year.

The primary difference between Texan soldiers and Mexican soldiers during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) stems from their allegiances and motivations. Texan soldiers, often composed of Anglo settlers and Tejanos, fought for Texas independence from Mexican rule, seeking self-governance and individual liberties. In contrast, Mexican soldiers were part of the Mexican government forces, aiming to maintain control over Texas and uphold national sovereignty. These contrasting objectives fueled the conflict between the two groups.
