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.
Hello there!
The question you asked is "why is it important to remember historical events?"
The answer to your question is simply that in order to stop bad things from happening in the future, we must learn from the past.
The holocaust is one example of something we don't want to repeat in the future, therefore we must study how Hitler took over Germany. A few of the things he did was took over the school systems so that he could indoctrinate the children. These children became known as the Hitler Youth. Another thing he did was take away guns from Jewish people so that they could not fight back.
If we realize what Hitler did to take over, we can stop fascist politicians in modern day times.
I hope this helps!
Best wishes:)
