∙ 14y agoTexas was added to the United States when Texas was annexed in 1845, and in May 1846, after a Mexican cavalry detachment attacked a U.S. patrol in disputed territory, Congress declared war on Mexico. After its defeat, Mexico-in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo-recognized the boundaries claimed by Texas (including the Rio Grande) and ceded California, Arizona, New Mexico and portions of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming to the United States.
This is why Texas was added-because Mexico lost to the United States in a war and handed it over to the US.
