Answer: In reaction to the Stamp Act (1765) and the Townshend Acts (1767), colonial nonimportation associations were organized by Sons of Liberty and Whig merchants to boycott English goods.
The reasons that the Americans fought along with Colombians, Ethiopians, and Puerto Ricans, were mostly geostartegic, economic, and territorial.
They fought along with the Colombians because Colombia has an excellent geostrategic position in the continent that is not very fond of the US. So by having an ally in Colombia they were able to have much better control and to be in a much better position on the affairs in South America.
Ethiopia was a zone of interest because it is crucial as a military base that will be close to the Middle East, so having an ally in them was allowing them to build their military facilities.
Puerto Rico was a territorial zone of interest, and the US wanted to keep it under its own governing because an independent country of Puerto Rico might have gone in any direction really, and even become an ally with some of the American arch enemies, and thus becoming the ''second Cuba''.

President Thomas Jefferson wrote this prediction in an April 1802 letter to Pierre Samuel du Pont amid reports that Spain would retrocede to France the vast territory of Louisiana. As the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce, so this transfer of authority was cause for concern. Within a week of his letter to du Pont, Jefferson wrote U.S. Minister to France Robert Livingston: "every eye in the US. is now fixed on this affair of Louisiana. perhaps nothing since the revolutionary war has produced more uneasy sensations through the body of the nation."2
