Answer 2

I would like to say that B is the answer because after Texas’ success in the war of independence against Mexico in 1836 president Martin van Buren refrained from annexing Texas after the Mexicans threatened war, but Texas was later annexed in 1845 anyway so I am not quite sure but that should be right.
