Sam Houston wanted Texas to join the United States primarily for economic and security reasons. By becoming a part of the US, Texas would have access to a larger market for its goods and services, which would boost its economy. Additionally, joining the US would provide Texas with military protection from potential threats, such as Mexico, and help stabilize the region politically.
