Blakeb. british and french recognizing Texas' independence
Depending on how you look at this question, I think it could go either way. At first I thought it was A. because the Mexican war for independence took up time and that would delay annexation of Texas, but after the capture it took nine years to complete the deal. Then when you think about the British and French getting involved, that could also be the answer if you think about how their recognizing Texas as free caused controversy about whether the U.S. Pres. should push the annexation through Congress or not.

What is the definition of texas annexation?
After Texas gaining their independence from Mexico. Texas asked the US to annex them thus entering the union as a slave state.
The Republic of Texas existed from 1836 to 1845 before Texas joined the US. Besides the likelihood of war with Mexico why did annexation take so long?
Texas practiced slavery, and the US already had adequate problems maintaing a balance between the north and the south on that issue. Texas had made an effort to go it alone as a Republic, but it lacked recognition by most of the world and had created an enormous burden of debt. Texas needed a handout in a big way.
