20 miles south of San Antonio
Joaquin de Arredondo
Spain-
1,830 men
Republic Army of the North - approx. 1,400
Less than 100 Republican soldiers escaped, several hundred were captured, and the remainder killed. Arredondo summarily gathered the names of the captured men, executed the rank and file, torched the officers for further information, and then executed them. He then quickly gathered the families of the Texan soldiers and publicly executed them in the plaza of San Antonio. He then had their corpse or parts of their bodies, hung in trees. No effort was made to bury the remains of the Republican Army’s dead, and the remains lay on the battlefield for nine years. For the next year he pursued the remaining leaders, including the civilian leadership of the Texas Republic, sparing few, and destroying all of the farms, buildings, and mills of the province except for a few located in San Antonio and newly built citadels such as near Goliad. The approximately 2,500 men killed in the Republican Army's campaign, exceeded the total number of Texans killed during the entire Texas Revolution twenty-three years later in 1836, and the death or expulsion of at least 15,000 other Anglo-Tejano and American settlers effectively ethnically cleansed and genocided the entire province.
