Question

One consequence of the US Congress voting to annex Texas was that?

Answer 1

16th century conquests of Hernando Cortez forces extended their influence northward into what is United States now.  

This expansion established a Spanish (now Mexican) claim to much of southwestern part of the United States and California.

Increasing numbers of American settlers infiltrate the northern area of the Rio Grande, particularly in the 1820s and 1830s.

Answer 2

Answer:

The consequence of US congress voting to annex Texas was that it was included in the United States as the 28th state in 1845.

Explanation:

Texas was earlier a part of ‘Mexico’. But some people from the US went and settled there and claimed Independence and called their country as the Republic of Texas.

Thereafter there was a lot of disagreement after which the United States included Texas as a slave country. This resulted in the start of the ‘Mexican American war’ from 1846-1848.
