Jackson did not want the anti-slavery issue to pop up during the 1836 election. This extended to the recognition of the Republic of Texas. As the new government had legalized slavery after winning independence from Mexico over the issue, Jackson waited to recognize the Republic of Texas until after his partyÕs candidate Martin Van Buren was elected before recognizing it and appoint a charge dÕaffaires.
