Texas Annexation? YES!!!!
By: Walker Andrews
Reasons Why it Should
If we join the U.S.A we will be able to pay off our debts. We will have a lot more protection. They have a better money system than Texas alone. Also they have a better postal system so we can get information better than Texas alone.
U.S.A didn't want us because...
We just had the revolution with Mexico. We were in a huge debt from being our own country. Also we were a slave state so they didn't want us to bring slaves into America because they just got rid off the slaves.
The Journy to Annexation of Texas
Treaty of April 1844
This treaty would make Texas a legal territory of U.S. Texas accepted really fast, but the senate rejected. they took a vote if it should or not but it came out 2/3 of it not passing; this was a big shock to everyone
The U.S election of 1844
When James K. Polk won the election of 1844 everyone found out he favored annexation and so Americans favored annexation.
The Joint Resolution
It passed by both houses of congress so that means Texas passed on feb. 26, 1845!!!
