The Goliad Campaign refers to a series of battles which occurred in 1836 as part of the Texas Revolution, which ultimately led to the Goliad massacre. Troops from the army of Mexico defeated Texian forces in several clashes, and eventually massacred many of their prisoners of war, spreading outrage, resentment, and fear among the population of the fledgling Republic of Texas and abroad.

Famous quotes containing the word campaign:
“The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
