Sam Houston was a strong proponent of the annexation of Texas to the United States. As the first president of the Republic of Texas, he pursued annexation as a means to ensure the republic's security and economic stability. Houston's efforts culminated in the U.S. Congress approving the annexation of Texas in 1845, which ultimately led to Texas becoming the 28th state of the United States. His leadership was pivotal in both the diplomatic negotiations and the political climate surrounding the annexation process.
Senator Henry Clay opposed the annexation of Texas primarily due to concerns over the expansion of slavery and its implications for national unity. He believed that annexation could exacerbate regional tensions between free and slave states, potentially leading to civil conflict.

His vision for the nation emphasized cautious expansion and maintaining a delicate balance between competing interests.
