Explain how the fall of the alamo and the goliad massacre both hurt and the texas' quest for independence in the texas revolution

Overshadowed by the fall of the Alamo was an even deadlier slaughter of Texas rebels that occurred three weeks later on March 27, 1836. The Goliad Massacre claimed the lives of nearly 350 captured soldiers but rallied support for Texas independence.

As the ashes of the Alamo continued to smolder, Sam Houston feared another disaster could befall his Texas Army. Mexican forces under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna continued to sweep across Texas toward Fort Defiance, the presidio in Goliad that had been seized by the rebels in October 1835 at the onset of the war for independence. Houston ordered Colonel James W. Fannin to evacuate his 400-man force from Goliad and retreat to Victoria, a town 30 miles to the east behind the natural defense of the Guadalupe River. “The immediate advance of the enemy may be confidently expected,” Houston warned Fannin. “Prompt movements are therefore highly important.”
