What is the Difference between The declaration of independence and the Texas one?

The Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress in 1776, declared the 13 American colonies independent from British rule. It outlined principles of natural rights and self-government. The Texas Declaration of Independence, adopted in 1836, declared Texas independent from Mexico and established the Republic of Texas. While both documents assert independence, they differ in their historical context and the specific grievances addressed against their respective ruling powers.


What role did racist altitudes play in the US invasion of Mexico?

US did not invade Mexico. Mexico attacked first in Texas which was part of Mexico but wanted to go independent. Racist was not in it. Most in Texas at that time were "Mexicans" and mixtures. This answer does confuses the War of Texas Independence with The Mexican War, and makes no mention of altitude at all. True, Texas was not really part of Mexico but they thought it that way and some still do!. Texas was technically independent from Mexico. But the temporary Texas independence was one of the main reasons US got into war with Mexico and the first shots were fired in Texas. I see the Mexican war just a "continuation of Texas so called independence. The difference, of course, being that Texas was annexed as a state before the Mexican War, and therefore a violation of Texas sovereignty led to the invasion of Mexico by two American armies, which did not happen during the War of Independence in 1836. "Texas was annexed as a state before the Mexican War, and therefore a violation of Texas sovereignty" Is incorrect Texas asked to be part of the US and congress approved. Texas was none of Mexico's business after they got their independence. But some did not accept that. Mexico US War, was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848 in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered part of its territory despite the 1836 Texas Revolution. This is from a site. The newly-formed Republic lasted for several years, before finally petitioning the United States for statehood. It was granted in 1845, just before the outbreak of the Mexican-American War. First shots were fired in what is Texas now the Texas border both sides claimed were theirs. Us did not invade Mexico until the war started. We ended up taking Mexico city at great costs 12,000 us troops I do not know the Mexico deaths. It would have ended sooner if Santa Ana would have just see he lost. But he kept going and Mexico and US paid for it.

What was the main thinking in many American's mind when they said no to Texas annexation?

First, I think many Americans did not want to deal with a new state that would become a slave state, due to the location of Texas. Also, politicians knew that, even though Texas declared its' independence, Mexico still considered the land a part of their territory. Annexing Texas while Mexico still considered it their land would be political turmoil. However, Texas was eventually annexed, leading to the Mexican-American War.
