To Have Or Not To Have Annexation?
That Is The Question
Pro or Con?
Most Americans wanted to annex Texas, but some didn't because they thought it would lead to war with Mexico.I believe we should annex because, we would have more slaves therefore more things that need to be done get done, our debt would get paid, and we would have financial protection.
Annexation Passing?
Election 1844, James K. Polk was elected president and he was all for annexation causing most Americans to be for it making it more likely for Texas to annex.The Joint Revolution actually passed and then the new constitution was written, therefore making Texas an annexed state.

Financial Protection
When the constitution was formed, they still protected what they were before, such as family homes. They banned banks because some Texans didn't trust them and legislater was not allowed to use more than $100,00.
