Why, because German U-Boats where sinking ships at an alarming rate. Besides loss of life the supplies the US was sending to Britain to fight the war was ending up at the bottom of the Atlantic. It was essential that Britain get these supplies from US to keep fighting. How, through use of airplanes and ships designed to find and destroy U-Boats. It took over a year before the US could turn the tide on the German U-Boats.
