[Restorer]

There were 342 men who died in the Goliad Massacre, which is almost twice the number of men who died at the Alamo and San Jacinto combined.

He means the number of Texans, not the number of men. A whole lot of Mexicans died at San Jacinto, many of them killed while trying to surrender.

Well yeah! I be a Texan who else would that be about;^)

"A whole lot of Mexicans died at San Jacinto, many of them killed while trying to surrender."

Hey, Restorer, are you one of this blame America or, in this case, blame Texas first bunch?

If you are, I got no sympathy-you can kiss my Texas lovin' A$$!

A whole lot of Mexicans died at San Jacinto, many of them killed while trying to surrender.

Shortly after the Goliad massacre and long before the Geneva Convention.

Don't Mess With Texas

Don't have a whole lot of sympathy for them after they committed what would today be considered a war crime, sorry. Also, in that era, you didn't *have* to take the surrender of an enemy. If you did, you were bound by honor to not kill or mistreat them, which the Mexicans conveniently ignored.
