Texas generally supported slavery due to its agricultural economy, which relied heavily on plantation crops like cotton and tobacco that required a substantial labor force. The state's early settlers, many of whom came from slaveholding states, brought their pro-slavery sentiments with them. Additionally, the political and social structures in Texas were aligned with maintaining slavery, as it was seen as integral to economic prosperity and social hierarchy at the time.
Slavery was part of Texas culture before it entered the Union.
Some states that supported slavery were Tennessee, North Carolina, and Delaware. Some of the states that opposed slavery were New york, Vermont, and Ohio.

Stephen F. Austin supported the institution of slavery in Texas because he believed it was necessary for the economic development of the region.
