Oddly enough Americans originally moved to Texas to be away from the United States laws. After their revolt and break with Spanish controlled Mexico, they created the independent Republic of Texas in 1836 to continue to remain free of United States control and laws. Texas was admitted to the Union as the 28th state in 1845 as a slave state and the Republic officially dissolved in 1846. Texas seceded from the United States in 1861, and joined the Confederate States of America.

Why was the admission at Texas into the union delayed for nine years?
Texas was trying to make itself its own country. When they went to war with Mexico and were defeated at the Alamo, the US stepped in and later Texas was admitted. This is why Texas is called the Lonestar state. On our flag, stars represent our states and the motto is basically saying Texas is its only state. Texas was part of Mexico, and had been for a very long time. Americans were offered land if they wanted to settle in Texas as the Mexican government felt the land was underused. The conditions were that they would convert to catholics and swear an oath of alligence to the Mexican emperor. Many thousands accepted this and settled there. Once there were enough of them, they declared Texas to be independent of Mexico and, understandably, the Mexicans were not very happy. They sent an army to recover the land and The Alamo was one of the battles that were fought. Sam Houston was the Texan commander who was desperate to get the United states involved. Some say he could have rescued the Alamo defenders, his Texan army certainly had little trouble defeating the Mexican shortly afterwards, but he wanted a massacre of Americans to whip up public opinion in the states, so he allowed the Alamo defenders to die. Basicly, the USA used its military power to steal 50% of mexicos sovereign territory, are still in occupation of it and are still complaining about how many Mexicans live there LOL.
How did the Alamo get started?
Mexico encouraged foreign settlement in Texas, but then Americans far outnumbered Mexicans in Texas. The Americans started to want to be independent, so they started the Texas Revolution. The Alamo was the first battle. Although all the Americans were killed, the Mexicans, in proportion, had many more losses. After that, the U.S. sent aid to the Texan army, which then routed the Mexicans at San Antonio and San Juanito (I think). Texas became a U.S. state 9 years later, in 1845.
