Andrew Jackson worried that annexing (aka adding) Texas to the US would divide the nation because Texas would enter the Union as a slave state. During the early to mid 19th century, US presidents were constantly trying to balance the number of free and slave states. Their reasoning behind this is that they did not want any side (aka free states or slave states) gaining too much power in Congress.
During this time, Northern politicians were worried that having a lot of slave states in Congress would result in the slave states making slavery legal in all of the new territories gained by the US during the 19th century. The Southern politicians were worried that if free states controlled Congress, they would try to make a law/amendment to get rid of slavery.

Neither became independent,sovereign nations until the second half of the 19th century (1861 and 1871 respectively). Neither had a powerful navy when they became unified,so it took time to build up both a sufficiently large surface fleet and merchant marine to make imperial acquisitions overseas viable and defensible. A combination of these factors meant that,by the time both were ready and eager for imperial colonies in Africa,much of the continent (and certainly all the best bits) had long since been claimed by others.
Southern society was highly stratified. The great landowners not only controlled the lives of their slaves but also the lives of the small farmers who depend on them to market crops and recieve credit
