Many U.S. citizens supported the annexation of Texas in the mid-19th century for several reasons, including the belief in Manifest Destiny, which held that the expansion of the U.S. across North America was divinely ordained. Additionally, annexing Texas was seen as a way to increase land and resources for agriculture and settlement. The prospect of expanding slavery into the new territory also motivated pro-slavery factions to advocate for annexation. Furthermore, annexing Texas was viewed as a means to strengthen the security and geopolitical position of the United States.
