People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.

Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.

When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.

By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue.  In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999. 

Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also.  Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it.  You could check out a good book on the subject, <em>The Big Ditch,</em> by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.

Why did andrew jackson fight a battle after he war was over
adelina 88 [10]
<span>In September 1814, an impressive American naval victory on Lake Champlain forced invading British forces back into Canada and led to the conclusion of peace negotiations in Ghent, Belgium. Although the peace agreement was signed on December 24, word did not reach the British forces assailing the Gulf coast in time to halt a major attack.On January 8, 1815, the British marched against New Orleans, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. Pirate Jean Lafitte, however, had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched at the Rodriquez Canal. In two separate assaults, the 7,500 British soldiers under Sir Edward Pakenham were unable to penetrate the U.S. defenses, and Jackson’s 4,500 troops, many of them expert marksmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, decimated the British lines. In half an hour, the British had retreated, General Pakenham was dead, and nearly 2,000 of his men were killed, wounded, or missing. U.S. forces suffered only eight killed and 13 wounded.Although the battle had no bearing on the outcome of the war, Jackson’s overwhelming victory elevated national pride, which had suffered a number of setbacks during the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was also the last armed engagement between the United States and Britain.
