On July 4, 1845, the United States Congress approved the annexation of Texas, which had declared independence from Mexico in 1836. This decision intensified the debate over slavery and territorial expansion, leading to increased tensions between the North and South. The annexation ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War in 1846.
