Why did Texas remain for a time as an independent state instead of joining the union?
Texas remained an independent state for nearly a decade after gaining independence from Mexico in 1836 primarily due to concerns over its slaveholding status, which clashed with the growing abolitionist sentiment in the United States. Additionally, there were fears of military threats from Mexico and the desire for economic stability, which made some Texans hesitant to join the union. Political divisions within both Texas and the U.S. further complicated the annexation process until Texas was finally admitted to the Union in 1845.
