He helped build and took plans for the panama canal.
President Theodore Roosevelt aided in the building of the Panama Canal. Construction began in 1904 and was completed ten years later.
The French had the idea to build a canal across Panama first and they started the project; after about their sixth year working on the canal they ended up going bankrupt. that is when the US showed interest in buying the canal for the French, but Columbia, who at the time owned Panama, would not allow the purchase. An agreement was made with Panama to help them get their independence the US would be allowed to finish building the canal.
