President Truman's "Fair Deal" proposed that Congress work on:
- Expanding Social Security
- Increase minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour
- Implementing anti-discrimination policies in employment
- Addressing civil rights issues
- Expanding public housing
- Providing federal aid to education
- Establishing national health insurance
There were more proposals as well, but most of the proposals (including those noted above) did not gain any traction with Congress. Congress did extend Social Security coverage and raise the benefits, and also did raise the minimum wage. But other proposals did not go into effect.

Yes, it is true that in general the Northeast was the region most opposed to the annexation of Texas, since this would have meant an expansion of Southern power, which many in the Northeast wanted to avoid.
They believed that government was an agreement between the governed and the government in a social contract.
None fit perfectly but it seems like the best option here is mutually beneficial
