Initially they were and that continued for years because the folks that lived through the Japanese occupation kept the memories alive. But, as with all cultures, the more years away from it and more people that never lived it the memories died. After that many of the younger folks began to see the US as an occupying force. Our leases on bases in the Philippines ran out in the 1980's and most US interests there pulled out.
There is an important difference between the founding of Virginia and Maryland colonies. Virginia was formed for financial gain while Maryland was formed to protect religious freedom and Catholicism.
Harriet Tubman led escaped slaves to St. Catharines, Canada, primarily because it was a safe haven where they could live free from the threat of recapture. Canada had abolished slavery, offering a more secure environment for those seeking freedom. Tubman, having made the perilous journey herself, established her home there as a base for helping others escape from the United States. Her efforts were part of the larger Underground Railroad network, which aimed to guide enslaved individuals to safety and autonomy.
Virginia was founded mainly as an economic venture, while Maryland was intended partly to secure religious freedom for persecuted Roman Catholics.
Slaves fought on both sides in the Revolutionary War primarily for the promise of freedom and better treatment. The British offered emancipation to enslaved people who would join their ranks, leading many to fight for the Crown. Conversely, some American colonists also enlisted enslaved individuals, promising them freedom in return for their service. This complex dynamic reflected the desperate hopes of enslaved people to secure their liberty amid the conflict.
