The Republic of Texas existed from 1836 to 1845 before Texas joined the US. Besides the likelihood of war with Mexico why did annexation take so long?
Texas practiced slavery, and the US already had adequate problems maintaing a balance between the north and the south on that issue. Texas had made an effort to go it alone as a Republic, but it lacked recognition by most of the world and had created an enormous burden of debt. Texas needed a handout in a big way.
There were multiple reasons for the delay in Texas's annexation to the United States. One major factor was the issue of slavery, as Texas was a slaveholding territory. The addition of Texas as a slave state would have upset the balance between free and slave states in the US Congress. Additionally, there were concerns about the size of Texas and the potential for it to be divided into multiple states, which further contributed to the delay in annexation.
