The annexation of Texas was primarily driven by the desire for expansion among American settlers and politicians, reflecting the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent.

However, the annexation was contentious due to issues surrounding slavery, as Texas would enter as a slave state, heightening tensions between free and slave states.
