The Panama Canal helped the import and export of goods. This created jobs. Trading
helped to increase the economy. Travel became easier and faster. There were particular benefits for the U.S., as the nation had recently expaned fully out west to California, which was colonized in 1802. when gold was discovered in California soon after, America was eager to create a short sea passage to her western-most parts for gold shipment, rather than transporting gold over land to her east coast. America was also interested in easier access to her pacific colonies, such as Hawaii, Guam, and the Philippines, which she had acquired from Spain just before that time.
Quite simply that ships wishing to go to the opposite side of the USA or those wishing to navigate around the North and South American continents could now do so by passing directly through the middle rater then having to travel the extra distance and navigate the reputedly rough waters south of South America In other words it was a major short cut. it was much faster. and it was far safer.
Those are the basic benefits of the Panama Canal.
