Many colonial people volunteered to fight for the Allied forces
because they hoped that their services would win their colonies independence.
Freedom was always the main target behind people fighting in favor of the
Allied forces. The British forces were always trying to suppress any type of
revolt that people were trying to create. Also the people were really fed up
with variety of taxes that the British implemented over the colonial people.
This was the main reason behind the colonial people’s decision to join and
fight for the independence of their colony.
The main reason why the United States largely shied away from imperialism prior to 1890 was because it was still a relatively "fragile" nation with a host of its own issues to work out--such as the slavery issue that eventually led to the devastating Civil War.
