Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In the end, Texas was admitted to the United States a slave state. The annexation of Texas contributed to the coming of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1843 the United States became alarmed over the policy of Great Britain toward Texas. The British were opposed to annexation and even contemplated the use of force to prevent it.
