The Importance Of Texas's Annexation In The United States

Opening Statement

Texas’s annexation was legal and only between the US and Texas. It was also a god given right to expand west and for no foreign nation to interfere with expansion. Also, according to the Monroe Doctrine, “The Western Hemisphere was to be off-limits to future colonization by any foreign power.” That means that no other foreign country can interfere with our nation expanding west. Also, the question if Texas should is going to be a state in the United States is only between the US and Texas. US president, vice-president, representative, and governor of Virginia, John Tyler said, “The question of annexation as belonging exclusively to the U.S. and Texas.” Texas also wants to be a state because Mexico is being unfair in the rights
they were giving to Texas. Plus, Texas has a guaranteed right under the Constitution to become a state. Thousands of citizens in Texas already have the right to be protected by the United States. To add on to that, Mexico is becoming too weak to govern Texas because it is 1,000 miles away from the capital. Travel is too slow and it takes lots of time and money to transport information and supplies.
