Many Northerners opposed granting statehood to Texas primarily due to concerns about the expansion of slavery. Texas was a slave state, and its admission would tip the balance of power in Congress in favor of pro-slavery interests. Additionally, there were fears that annexing Texas could lead to further territorial expansion and conflicts with Mexico. This opposition was part of the broader sectional tensions that eventually contributed to the Civil War.
