Answer:: The WhigsThe explanation I just studied about this actually.

Explanation: The Republic of Texas declared independence from the Republic of Mexico on March 2, 1836. It applied for annexation to the United States the same year but was rejected by the Secretary of State. At the time, the vast majority of the Texian population favored the annexation of the Republic by the United States.
