The United States was actually considering building a canal across Nicaragua instead of Panama. However, the inopportunely-timed issuing of a one-cent postage stamp showing an erupting volcano lost Nicaragua the opportunity.
An American senator in favor of building it through Panama purchased enough stamps to mail each senator a one of the stamps with a note showing the reason against building it through Nicaragua.
David McCullough has written a detailed historical work called THE PATH BETWEEN THE SEAS: The Creation of the Panama Canal – 1870-1914. It is available at your local library. Call # 986.3 McCullough.
