Texas remained an independent republic for nearly nine years primarily due to a combination of factors, including political, economic, and social considerations. While some Texans were indeed reluctant to join the U.S. due to concerns over slavery, governance, and potential conflict with Mexico, others favored annexation for economic stability and security. Ultimately, the desire for statehood grew stronger, leading to Texas joining the United States in 1845. The complexities of these sentiments contributed to the delay in annexation.
