Answer: When the United States decided to build a canal across Central America, Panama was a part of Colombia.

Explanation: During Theodore Roosevelt's second term,<u> the United States decided that they needed to build a canal across Central America in order for the American ships to travel more quickly</u>. In that time,<u> Panama was a part of Colombia</u>; therefore, the United States had to negotiate with Colombia in order to get permission to build the canal. When the Senate of Colombia denied this permission, the United States sent warships to Panama and convinced people from Panama to rebel against Colombia and fight for their independence. In 1903,<u> Panama declared its independence, which benefited the United States since Panamanians finally allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal</u>. The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean and it cuts across the Isthmus of Panama.

When the united states decided to build a canal across Central America, Panama was a part of <u>Colombia. </u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The United States under President Theodore Roosevelt bought the French asset from the canal zone in 1902. At that time, Panama was a part of Colombia. The Colombian government refused the treaty that the US offered to build the canal.  

The Canal project started in 1904, a year after Panama independence from Colombia. Ten years later, on August 15, 1914, this canal officially opened. It was the most expensive project in US history at that point by spending more than $350 million.

During World War II, the Panama Canal played a vital role for the US by allowing ships easily between the Atlantic and Pacific. The Panama Canal has been a vital component for the global trade routes and continues to be updated and maintained.

The Panama canal remained in the United States territory until 1977. A process of transferring territorial control from the US to Panama was completed on 31 December 1999.

Which point of opposition to Mr.Madison’s War was the most significant to growing sectionalism ?
Pavlova-9 [17]
<span>In the winter of 1814-1815 New England Federalists gathered in Hartford, CT to hold the Hartford Convention. This was a meeting for those who opposed Madison's War, better known as the War of 1812, and wanted to enact change in Washington for the many wrongs and complaints they had. Most of these came out of fears of being overpowered by southern and western states. This was a prime example of growing sectionalism as the end of the Federalist Party neared.</span>
