After America had gained independence, it was ready to expand it's territory. They were interested in many place like Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and especially Cuba. For many different reasons. These countries have a very hot and humid climate which is perfect for growing sugar. Also, much of Latin America produced many exotic fruits that became popular in America like the banana in the late 18th century.
