Final answer:

Kit Carson was not part of the campaign against New Mexico during the 1910s. The conflict you're referring to involves Pancho Villa, President Wilson, and Carranza during the Mexican Revolution. The U.S. intervened due to political interests, targeted attacks, and disputes over mineral rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems there might be confusion in the question as Kit Carson was a frontiersman and scout in the 1800s, not involved in the campaign against New Mexico during the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s. Kit Carson is best known for his role in expansion of the American West. The situation mentioned in the given informational texts involves Pancho Villa and President Wilson's intervention into Mexican affairs in support of rebel forces against Carranza. After Carranza's refusal to collaborate with American interests, and subsequent attack on Columbus, New Mexico by Pancho Villa, Wilson dispatched troops to capture Villa.

However, if the question could refer to why the U.S became part of the campaign against New Mexico, it was largely due to political interests, disputes over mineral rights, and the need to restore stability in a bordering nation.
