The American annexation of territories, particularly after the Mexican-American War, led to significant demographic, cultural, and political changes. It expanded the U.S. territory significantly, fueling debates over slavery and states' rights that contributed to the Civil War. Additionally, it resulted in the displacement and marginalization of Indigenous populations and Mexican citizens, altering their social and economic landscapes. The annexation also played a crucial role in shaping America's identity and its trajectory as a continental power.
After the Spanish-American War, some of the old "Radical Republicans" and other members of Congress opposed the idea of acquiring colonies. A large portion of the Democratic Party, led by William Jennings Bryan, opposed annexation of colonies. Anti-imperialists reminded the nation of our anti colonial heritage. Many anti-imperialists were racists or appealed to those with racist ideas. They questioned whether is was wise to bring "nonwhite" people "under our flag." Many simply opposed the annexation of the Philippines because it would be too costly and would force the US to send American troops into "harm's way" to put down any resistance to our taking over.
One reason that some Americans opposed the annexation of Texas was that they didn't want to go war with Mexico. Another reason was that it would change the balance between states that had slavery and those that didn't.

In Hawaii, opposition to annexation primarily came from Native Hawaiians, including Queen Liliʻuokalani and other leaders who sought to preserve Hawaiian sovereignty and culture. Many Native Hawaiians viewed annexation as a violation of their rights and an infringement on their self-governance. Additionally, some members of the local business community and foreign nationals opposed the move, fearing it would disrupt their interests and the existing political landscape. The resistance culminated in petitions and protests against the annexation, reflecting a strong sentiment for independence among various groups.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, ended the Mexican-American War and resulted in Mexico ceding approximately 525,000 square miles of territory to the United States, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. The treaty established the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico and guaranteed civil and property rights for Mexican residents in the ceded territories. Some U.S. senators opposed the treaty due to concerns about the expansion of slavery into the newly acquired territories and fears that the treaty would lead to the annexation of a large population of Mexicans, which could disrupt the balance of power in Congress.
