Which of the following was not a cause of delaying the annexation of
Texas?
(A) Resistance to the creation of another Southern state
(B) A U.S. neutrality pledge with Mexico
(C) Lack of support from the Whig Party in the Senate
(D) British trade and defensive treaties with Texas
(E) Abolitionists’ opposition to creating another slave state
It would be "(D) British trade and defensive treaties with Texas," that was not a cause of delaying the annexation of Texas, since the delay mostly had to do with the North being upset with the idea of adding another slave state to the Union.
