At first, the annexing of Texas had been refused by the United States. In 1844, Sam Houston (the Texan President) signed a treaty of annexation with the US. Although the Senate yet again refused to ratify the treaty, for fear the annexation of Texas would cause war with Mexico. Houston refused to give up, and pressured the US by pretending Texas was going to ally itself with Britain. This trick worked, and in 1845, Congress passed a joint resolution admitting Texas to the Union.

How did Texas and Florida become a part of the US?

After a while, the United States threatened to take care of the situation if Spain won't. They would march into Florida and take it over. Spain ceded it over in the Adams-Onis Treaty because they were going to lose it anyway and they were able to clear up other misunderstandings in the Louisiana Purchase.
