Jackson didn't want to inflame the slavery issue again and annexing Texas so soon from Texas's independence might have started another war with Mexico. Hope i could help
Because, Texas had a debt toward the US so when they joined they wouldn't have that debt anymore. Also, Northerners objected because annexing Texas means that another slave state would be added, thus upsetting the balance of slave and free states. Southerners favored the annexations because it was in their favor.
It would cause war with Mexico and enhance slave power.
The 28th US State.
The annexation of the Lone Star Republic, or Texas, was delayed due to several factors, including concerns over the expansion of slavery and the potential for conflict with Mexico, which still considered Texas part of its territory. Additionally, political divisions within the U.S. made the issue contentious, as many Northerners opposed the addition of another slave state. Ultimately, the U.S. annexed Texas in 1845 to expand its territory and fulfill the idea of Manifest Destiny, which encouraged American expansion across the continent. The annexation also aimed to strengthen the U.S. strategically and economically.
Texas was the 28th state to join the US.
Yes.
One of the reasons the U.S. delayed the annexation of Texas was the contentious issue of slavery. Texas was a slave state, and its admission to the Union raised concerns about upsetting the balance between free and slave states. Additionally, there were fears that annexing Texas could lead to war with Mexico, which still considered Texas part of its territory. These political and diplomatic factors contributed to the hesitation in the annexation process.
