Don't Build Canals

French efforts in Panama ended in disaster. But the US government was still really, but so the French obviously failed to make this canal. And even though they fail, their efforts there really worry the United States because we assumed that one of these Europeans is gonna figure out how to make a canal. So President Rutherford Haids warned Europe that when it came to Panama, the policy of this country is a canal under American control. Now obviously, Panamanians were not consulted in this declaration,. He was trying to scare Europe away from building a canal.
