Detailed explanation-1: -On March 1, 1845, three days before turning the presidency over to Polk, Tyler signed a Texas annexation bill into law, and Texas would be admitted as a state in the first year of Polk’s presidency.
Detailed explanation-2: -His official motivation was to outmaneuver suspected diplomatic efforts by the British government for the emancipation of slaves in Texas, which would undermine slavery in the United States. Through secret negotiations with the Houston administration, Tyler secured a treaty of annexation in April 1844.
Detailed explanation-3: -His first attempt was rejected by the Senate in 1844, but annexation was ultimately realized by this joint resolution, signed by President Tyler on March 1, 1845. After the joint resolution was approved and a state constitution was drafted, Texas was officially annexed on December 29, 1845.
