One of the main reasons why Congress did not initially annex Texas is because it would create an imbalance of free and slave states in Congress.
During the early to mid 19th century, the United States was constantly expanding their territory. This was due in large part to the concept of manifest destiny. As the US was spreading their influence, they ran into the problem of whether or not these new territories and states would have the institution of slavery.
Southern states favored new territories and states having slavery while Northern states did not favor slavery in these new territories. The reason behind the Northern states includeds:
1) Influences from the abolitionist movement.
2) Northerners did not want slave states to have more representatives in Congress than they did.
This caused Texas annexation to be delayed, since Texas would be admitted as a slave state. This would throw off the balance of free and slave states represented in Congress, giving slave states the advantage.

The verdict of the Plessy v. Ferguson case was that "separate but equal" laws were justified or allowed to exist. This basically meant that states had the right to keep blacks and whites separate at separate facilities as long as they were equal.
Unfortunately, the separate facilities were not equal for blacks and there was terrible treatment and equality for a long time in American history throughout the 20th century.
When the Civil Rights Movement became more popular in the 1950s, decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson were overturned, allowing blacks and whites to go to the same schools. This started with the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, and other schools began to integrate after this important case.
There were still issues with people being treated equally, even though it became the law to treat people equally. With the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this outlawed all segregation in public places, so there would be no more segregation at restaurants, movie theaters, etc.
Some states tried to block this integration with their own ways and laws and in some places, things turned violent with race riots.
Even though places were being integrated at a faster pace, it was difficult for some people to accept the views of everyone being equal.
