The answer you're looking for is The Anti-Imperialist League (established in 1898). That gives you a clear indication that the United States' involvement in the Philippines was an act of imperialism. During the late 19th century, imperialism was all the rage among European nations, scrambling to gain control of territories in Africa and Asia.

While we can name many characters that were important in the process of annexing Texas to the United States, the name that stands out is Samuel Houston.

When the US Congress voted for the annexation of Texas at the end of February 1845, Mexico suspended its diplomatic relations with the US Union, warning that the annexation of Texas would be considered an act of war.

In Texas two political groups would be formed: a small portion, partisan of Texas independence, whose most important representatives were Anson Jones and Ashbel Smith; The other, more numerous and popular, was headed by Samuel Houston and was in favor of annexation to the United States.
