Answer:

President Theodore Roosevelt created the Panama Canal. The initial purpose for building the canal was to shorten the distance ships had to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It enabled shippers to cheaply transport different types of goods in a shorter period of time. ... But after the canal was complete, the ship only traveled for 4,000 miles. Completed in 1914, the Panama Canal symbolized U.S. technological prowess and economic power.
