When Texas gained independence from Mexico, it fiercely fought to protect and guarantee its slavery rights. While Texas remained its own independent nation as the Republic of Texas, little notable attention from the United States was given to the newborn country with regards to the slavery issue.
However, once the Union began discussions on the possible annexation of Texas, the slavery issue burst through once the free states realized that Texas' annexation would upset the balance of free and slave states representation.

No. Independence Day has nothing to do with the abolishment of slavery. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery because blacks helped the Union win the Civil War. Independence day is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. I personally consider the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to be the true Declaration of Independence.
