Detailed explanation-1: -The Mexican dictator was forced to recognize Texas’ independence and withdrew his forces south of the Rio Grande. Texas sought annexation by the United States, but both Mexico and antislavery forces in the United States opposed its admission into the Union.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mexico refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between the two countries continued into the 1840s. The annexation of Texas as the 28th state of the United States, in 1845, led directly to the Mexican–American War.
Detailed explanation-3: -The War of Independence cost Mexico a great deal. After gaining independence in 1821, the country was left in a poor state. Agricultural, mining and industrial production had fallen during the war, and over half a million Mexicans had died. As a new country, Mexico was struggling internally to achieve nationhood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Following Mexico’s independence from Spain in 1821, American settlers immigrated to Texas in even larger numbers, intent on taking the land from the new and vulnerable Mexican nation in order to create a new American slave state.
