The U.S. was hesitant to annex Texas primarily due to concerns over the expansion of slavery, as Texas was a slave state and its addition could upset the balance between free and slave states in Congress. Additionally, there were fears of provoking conflict with Mexico, which still considered Texas part of its territory following its 1836 independence. Political divisions within the U.S. and the potential for war further complicated the annexation debate. These factors contributed to a cautious approach to Texas joining the Union.
