A. There was a dispute over whether Texas would be a slave state or not.
Texas's admission to the Union in 1837 was complicated by the contentious issue of slavery. Many in the North opposed the annexation of Texas primarily because it would likely be admitted as a slave state, which could upset the balance of power between free and slave states. This political tension played a significant role in delaying Texas's entry into the United States.
