Because of the need for a balance of slave and free states, there was a massive debate of whether or not Texas should be admitted as a slave or free state.

Explanation:

Texas' request to become a state was delayed due to the fact United States leaders wanted there to be an equal number of slave and free states. After Congress finally agreed to annex Texas in 1844, Texas entered the United States as a slave state in 1845.
