Yes, he pushed for Texas statehood and signed a treaty to make Texas a state. However, the Senate refused to ratify it. Texas did not actually become a state until a year later.

What was John Tyler's foreign and domestic policy?

Major Domestic Policy: During the time of Tyler's presidency, Henry Clay (who was a Whig leader) created a plan for a third bank of the United States. Congress passed the new Treasury bill, while Tyler was strongly to opposed this issue. This bill was established in hopes of bringing back the National Band resembling that one Jackson dismantled. He vetoed the bill due to the fact that he believed the bill was unconstitutional and stuck to his states rights belief. He felt that the not all states want a National Bank, causing him to veto it. Congress then passed a similar bill with different wording in hopes of getting Tyler to sign this bill. Tyler eventually vetoed this bill and resulted with the alienation his whole cabinet. As a result, the entire cabinet resigned from their positions, except for Daniel Webster. Daniel Webster later resigned after completing the Webster-Ashburton treaty, putting an end to all conflict between the United States and Canada. Texas had declared its independence from Mexico five years before Tyler took office. Tyler then sought to make a political party in hopes of annexing Texas, but once Texas heard of this, they threatened war. Tyler made a bad mistake by appointing John C. Calhoun as sectary of state. Tyler then created a bill for the annexation of Texas, and received majority of the votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Texas was also annexed on March 1st, but only became a state on December 29, 1845.Major Foreign Policy: As conflict grew between United States and Canada, Tyler ratified the Webster-Ashburton treaty. This treaty put an end to conflict between the Maine and Canada border. This treaty also fixed the border between the Lake of the Woods and Lake Superior. This conflict was later called the Aroostook War, but there were no casualties. During the end of Tyler's presidency, James K. Polk received Presidency on the issue of annexing Texas. Tyler took this idea, and on March 1st, 1845, Texas was annexed to the United States, but would only become a state on December 29, 1845.

How did the U.S. annex Texas?

Texas had fought a war with Mexico and won. They declared Texas to be an independent country. Texas later applied to become part of the United States. At first the United States said no because they knew Mexico would protest. But a wave of feelings called "Manifest Destiny" made Americans feel that American would get better if it grew bigger. James Knox Polk campaigned to make Texas part of the United States but it was done before Polk became president. Mexico did protest and the United States invaded Mexico. In addition to Texas, America took land for Arizona, California, and Nex Mexico.
