As the title says, these nations decide for their own reasons to support the U.S.A. with recognition, financial aide, and military aide in 1776.

Morocco's deal is a you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours deal. The Barbary Pirates want basing rights in exchange for their help. The Ottomans reasons are unclear and contradictory.

How does this play out. Does it speed up France, Spain, and Holland to jump in quicker or turn them off?

These ARE the same Barbary Pirates that the US fought it's first war (as an independent nation) with, yes?

Ottomans, maybe, can't see why, can't see what difference it would make.

Barbary Pirates, ASB

Morroco. Don''t know.

Morocco was the first nation to recognize US independence and bribed off the Barbary Pirates.

Now the pirates are a little trickier. Some may well take up an opportunity to expand their business, others not so much, but there are sure to be several willing to be privateers for the American Government.

Pirates tends to be fairly pragmatic about doing whatever gets them the most loot and plunder; if a deal with the US is more profitable than attacking US ships then that's what the pirates will do.
