Why did many Texans want Texas to join the United States?

What was the role of the Texas Rangers in the Republic of Texas during the presidential terms of Sam Houston and Mirabeau Lamar?

The Texas Rangers were a military force that fought against Native Americans and Mexicans and protected the settlers who were living on the frontier.

How did Mirabeau Lamar and Sam Houston work to establish Texas as a nation recognized by other countries?

Lamar and Houston wanted the United States, European countries, and Mexico to recognize Texas as a nation. However, Houston saw the future of Texas linked with the United States, and he worked hard for annexation. He won recognition for Texas from the United States, despite the U.S. concern that recognition would damage relations with Mexico. Houston hoped for good relations between the republic and Mexico. Houston also pushed for Texas to be recognized by Europe. He sent J. Pinckney Henderson to Europe to negotiate recognition and trade treaties with nations there. Houston hoped that if Great Britain in particular showed interest, the United States would quickly annex Texas. Henderson succeeded in negotiating trade agreements, but Great Britain and France refused to recognize Texas. They did not think it would survive as a nation, and they did not want to offend Mexico. Lamar believed Texas could be a powerful nation on its own, and he succeeded in gaining foreign recognition. By 1839, France was convinced that the United States would not annex Texas and became the first European country to recognize Texas as a nation. A year later, Britain and the Netherlands also did so. Lamar believed Mexico could be convinced of the status of Texas by a show of power, so he created the Texas Navy and increased the strength of the Texas Rangers.
