The Texas commissioners traveled to the U.S. in an effort to secure recognition and support for the Republic of Texas following its independence from Mexico in 1836. They aimed to negotiate treaties, seek military assistance, and foster diplomatic relations to ensure the survival and stability of the newly established republic. Their mission was also focused on the possibility of annexation to the United States, which was a key goal for many Texans at the time.
US President John Tyler believed that he needed an issue that would give him a political base for reelection. He also had a slave owner's interest in expanding slavery. With that in mind, he began secret negotiations with the Texan government. His goal was the annexation of Texas. This was done in secret to avoid people with opposing views to express them and hurt Tyler's goal. He also needed time to begin a pro-annexation campaign to sway public opinion in his favor.
