James K. Polk annexed the state of Texas. It was actually on December 29th of 1845, but often times people say 1846.
President James K. Polk, who served from 1845 to 1849, promised to annex both Texas and Oregon as part of his expansionist agenda. He successfully oversaw the annexation of Texas in 1845 and settled the Oregon boundary dispute with Britain in 1846, securing the territory for the United States. Polk’s policies were driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent.
The Mexican-American War began
Texas became a state after gaining independence from Mexico in 1836 and establishing itself as the Republic of Texas. After nearly a decade as an independent nation, Texas sought annexation by the United States. In 1845, Congress passed a resolution to annex Texas, and it was admitted to the Union as the 28th state on December 29, 1845, leading to territorial disputes and the Mexican-American War.
John Tyler was president when Texas was became US territory February , 1845, six days before Tyler left office.
