Fearing for their lives, U.S. settlers, African American slaves, and many Tejanos left their farms, homes, and towns to avoid being taken or killed by the Mexican troops. This movement of settlers became known as the RUNAWAY SCRAPE. Conditions were made worse by heavy rains and flooding during the spring of 1836.

Realizing they are outnumbered, Texans surrendered at discretion (to surrender thinking that you will not be killed but will be treated with respect). Urrea marched the Texans to the city of Goliad where Santa Anna ordered the Texans to be shot even though they surrendered at discretion. Over 300 Texans were shot at gunpoint with only a few escaping in Goliad, TX. The massacre at Goliad helped unite the Texans like the Alamo. After the Massacre at Goliad5515610-1301115More than 1,200 men joined the Texan Army because they were so angry about the massacre.

So many Texans were furious at the Mexican army for the Massacre at Goliad that the Texan army actually grew to 1,200 soldiers. Texans were anxious to join the fight against Santa Anna and his men. Houston faced criticism from his own soldiers, Texas countrymen, and Texas President, David G. Burnet. They all thought he should hurry up and fight Santa Anna.
