Explanation:

After Texas proclaimed its independence from Mexico, a new group of supporters of unification with the United States appeared in its new government, led by the leader of the Texas Revolution Sam Houston. In the same year, namely in August 1837, the ambassador of the new independent state of Texas appealed to US President Martin Van Buren with a request to accept the Republic of Texas into the United States.

However, the president of the United States, because of a possible aggravation of relations with Mexico, which until now considered Texas as its territory, rejected this offer.

The next year, the new president of Texas was the leader of the "nationalists" Mirabeau Lamar, who insisted on the need to preserve Texas sovereignty from both Mexico and the United States, in connection with which the issue of joining the states was removed from the agenda.

In September 1844, Anson Jones was elected President of the Republic of Texas, and he took office on December 9. He remained president until February 19, 1846, when Texas joined the United States.
