About
After winning independence from Mexico in 1836, Texas became its own country. Historian Andrew Torget provides a short overview of why many Texans wanted to join the U.S., the major challenges the Republic of Texas faced—including slavery, debt, and war—and how those struggles shaped its future. Learn why the U.S. finally agreed to annex Texas in 1845, changing the course of North American history.
