What was the main thinking in many American's mind when they said no to Texas annexation?

First, I think many Americans did not want to deal with a new state that would become a slave state, due to the location of Texas. Also, politicians knew that, even though Texas declared its' independence, Mexico still considered the land a part of their territory. Annexing Texas while Mexico still considered it their land would be political turmoil. However, Texas was eventually annexed, leading to the Mexican-American War.
