Do you think the annexation of Texas led to the American Civil War?

Yes. See explanation for more information.

Explanation:

Yes, the annexation of Texas was one of many events that eventually led up to the Civil War, but the Texas annexation itself was not the cause of the Civil War. Prior to the annexation, northerners and southerners were able to use debate and compromise to settle disagreements. With Texas coming into the Union, this split the Democrat party somewhat and made compromise much more difficult.

I don't believe that the leaders who approved the Texas annexation had the forsight to think this act would cause the United States to split up. Instead, as was the norm back then, most leaders were too focused on fighting what was to be considered state's rights and what was considered to be federal rights. Texas just added to the confusion. Had the leaders believed that annexing would lead to the Civil War, no one would have approved it.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
