Why Did Texas admission to the Union cause problems?

Texas's admission to the Union in 1845 caused problems primarily due to disputes over slavery and territorial expansion.

Additionally, the annexation reignited tensions with Mexico, as Mexico had not recognized Texas's independence, leading to the Mexican-American War. This expansionist policy also raised questions about the balance of power in Congress between free and slave states.
