Texas practiced slavery, and the US already had adequate problems maintaing a balance between the north and the south on that issue. Texas had made an effort to go it alone as a Republic, but it lacked recognition by most of the world and had created an enormous burden of debt. Texas needed a handout in a big way.

We are are talking about totally different eras and totally different societies and cultures. Also note that a Republic is a state not ruled by kings, emperors, princes, or dukes. The term Republic means just that. A Republic can be a democracy or a dictatorship.
