From the beginning of the process of digging the Panama Canal, United States used unethical means to acquire sovereign right to the Panama Canal route. They made the people not only in Panama, but places around it to feel that they had been used. Even though many people considered the Panama Canal project good for the world and America, the arguments obtained in an ethical way. In 1903 United States helped Panama to become an independent state but made problems between Panama and Columbia. When United States offered Columbia payment for Panama, Columbia refused and United States didn’t wait for them to rethink over the suggestion and backed up the war between those nations in order to get the Canal zone. Also Buena Varilla was the one who bought the canal project from the Frenchmen and never took to his concern that they might not want to sell it. The treaties that were signed between the United States and Panama turned out to be unfairly toward Panama. People who were living by the zone of the canal became wealthy and more egoistic. They made the class levels between the people and people become more raciest than they were before. For United States, who once were against dictatorship, turned out to support dictators in Panama to keep control over them.
