"A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama."
- The People of Panama
- President Theodore Roosevelt
The 'man' in the phrase is a reference to a quote by President Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt used it to describe the people of Panama rebelling against Columbia "literally as one man."
A senator, referring to the phrase, said "Yes, and the one man was Roosevelt."
The Panamanian rebellion (against Columbia, creating the Republic of Panama) led to the ability to create the Panama Canal (because Columbia was staunchly opposed to the idea).
