Why did the united states encourage panama’s declaration of independence from columbia a- the rebels promised to provide laborers to the us build the panama canal b- colombia threatened to attack us workers if they began work on a canal c- colombia had raised the price for the rights to build the panama canal d- the rebel’s promised to allow freedom of religion in panama

C) Colombia had raised the price for the right to build the Panama Canal.

The United State's wanted to create a Canal somewhere in the Latin America Isthmus. Because of this, the US Congress adopted the Panama Canal plan, But Colombia was not willing to cut a reasonable deal since they were asking for too much money for control of the canal. This made president Roosevelt encourage Panamanians to rebel and support their cause.
