When the United States bought the French land and infrastructure in 1904, it cost a lot of money to repair. However, the project was completed significantly under budget. How might U.S. opinion of the cost of the project have changed between 1904 and the canal's completion in 1914?

Answer:

At first, U.S. citizens might have been angry that their tax dollars were paying for a project they didn't necessary support. By the end, however, many U.S. citizens were proud that their country had not only completed such a grand project but had also done it under budget. They probably felt like they had gotten a good deal.
