<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.

Roosevelt was largely involved with the affairs of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and Cuba. Although he wasn't as aggressive as other presidents had been, he left on the table that he would protect the United States as best as he could if anything should happen.
