President John Tyler annexed Texas in 1845
The Senate initially refused to annex Texas in the 1840s primarily due to concerns about the expansion of slavery and its implications for the balance of power between free and slave states. Many senators, particularly from the North, feared that adding Texas as a slave state would exacerbate sectional tensions. Additionally, there were concerns about the potential for conflict with Mexico, which still considered Texas a part of its territory. These factors contributed to the Senate's rejection of the annexation proposal at that time.
Martin Van Buren was given the opportunity to annex Texas but he refused. It would take President John Tyler to approve the annexation of Texas. James Knox Polk favored the idea and made it a campaign issue but Tyler approved it before Polk came into office.
