Based on this information explain why did texas not join the union until 1873

1. Northerners dislike of slavery

2. Mexico Territory

Explanation:

Texas did not join the union because if it did it would be considered a slave state. Northerners did not like slavery while Southern powers believed that it could become part of the other 10 slavery states.

The second reason was that Texas was still territory of Mexico. Texas joining the union would create a crisis of diplomatic proportions and even war.
