so panama became the new frontier. the building of the panama became the new frontier. so in the u.s., there was a lot of fascination with the building of the canal and how the work was progressing at different stages. so there was a tremendous, a tremendous pride. but this is part of the american consciousness. >> on the table we have a sample of our sheet music relating to the panama canal. all published around the time of the opening of the canal. what it represents is an american popular phenomenon, that when something happens that captured the public's imagination, either because it was wonderful and amazing or even horrifying, there were songs written about it. this was a period when sheet music was the principal means of distribution of popular music. the recording industry was in its infancy at this time. this is how popular music was distributed. the items on table all but one are by people who are not famous at all. there is one "the pathfinder of panama" by john phillip sousa. but the rest are not well-known. in the 20th centuries, people would write songs an

is from 1869 all the way to the transfer of the panama canal from the u.s. to panama in 1999. one of the things that is striking to me about looking at the newspaper coverage of the panama canal is number one, it is a very elongated history. and it is very convoluted. and it is not just a diplomatic complexity, because it does involve numerous nations, but also within the united states itself, the whole legislative out all over where the best route was took a while to be determined. whether it is going to be mexico or nicaragua. was it going to be panama? those trains are shown in the newspapers we have on display. i would say that a couple of items that are my particular favorites are one is the front-page image of teddy roosevelt, because he is the first u.s. president to go on an official trip outside the united states. he chose to go to panama, of course. and he kind of becomes famous for his travels to panama. and then another interesting story that to me is kind of compelling is that fact that woodrow wilson from the white house sets off the last blast at the panama canal

the workers, when they got to panama -- it was not exactly how they were told. first, they were housed -- they lived more or less ok, but the flyer that was distributed in galicia, the picture that was shown was a picture of a hotel for american workers. so there was a division. american workers were on one side, and everybody else was on the other. the spanish workers were housed in barracks style buildings, with i will say army cots. and those were the lucky ones. there were others. they had to sleep in railroad cars. others, they had to sleep in tents. and the west indians, they suffered the most, because they -- they were basically left to fend off by themselves. we may have one of the richest collections about the panama canal anywhere in the world. it's like opening a window into the past. and you have to use your imagination a little bit, you know, too. so, i imagine that you will be able to get what it was like to work and to live during those 10 years that it took to build the canal. >> you can watch this and other american artifacts programs anytime by

b, the second question is president carter shutdown the panama canal in the 1970's. basically gave it back to the panamanians. there has got to be some problems with government regulation there, and the prices that we see were astronomical. wasn't that based on the fact that president carter actually gave back the panama canal? i would like to hear what you have to say about that. guest: you know, i haven't studied issue with but the impact of prices have been on the panama canal, but you raise an interesting point about regulation. s always going to get rid of and one of the biggest political issues that it is always going to be a trade-off and one of the biggest political issues in recent years has been the keystone pipeline. whether we would deliver this headline that would deliver canadian tar sands from alberta down to texas. that has been a big issue for environmentalists. there has been a pretty big effort on the part of republicans and other economic interests to get it done. i saw that secretary of state john kerry yesterday was saying he thought they would

it is an operation not quite on the scale of the panama canal, but pretty close. the effort to build this terminal, while the old terminal still operated, is set in motion by a crisis. the worst train disaster in new operation. york city history at the time of. a commuter train was in an underground tunnel, they failed to spot warning lights, and they slammed into the rear of another train waiting in the railyard. the carnage was terrible. the new york central railroad was forced by the state legislature to electrify its trains. at that point in time, this guy, william willis, the george washington midtown manhattan. he is the railroads chief engineer. he has vision. he not only electrify the trains, but he buried the tracks. he goes a step further. he convinces his superiors, mostly vanderbilts, to build a new, state-of-the-art terminal. a great people moving machine. and a stateless building. underground passageways that lead to subway stations. also, there is a lot of smart shops along the passageways. new yorkers are talking about reviving these in a big way. t

the same model and tried to transplant tomorrow panama. circumstances were very different and did not work. roosevelt finished the job in the early part of the 20th century. once we build out the nation and salt the build -- big problems of enable the goods and economic activity, now we have the problem of securing. -- security. this also gets to what we characterize as economic efficiency. the earliest 20th-century is the story. this is when we started as the , privateovernment entities in the big band building area. this happened in the early part of the 20th century and persisted. 1927 we had the worst flood catastrophe in the mississippi valley. the worst in our history but the worst in the mississippi valley. 600,000 rendered homeless. .fficially 500 people died may have been as high as two-3000 people. the mississippi river was navigable from one shore to the other for 100 miles. i am talking east-west. a great inland sea because of the levees that had failed. , a of their predecessors much more holistic and comprehensive plan to mana

i think the bush administration pushed for panama. and the colombian free trade deals that took three or four years to get them done. president bush spent a lot of time on those. i do think we do not necessarily get credit. often times i think the immigration debate is very divisive, but i think there are divisions in both parties that take up the labor unions that have not been asked about immigration and i think about the first two years of president obama's charm and he had democrats in the house and senate and do not pass comprehensive immigration reform at the time. i think it is sometimes republicans are easy to scapegoat but i think it is more complicated on the one hand. in terms of the changing trajectory of the society in latin america, the kinds of conversations we are having our different things. they want trade, but they also want more sophisticated discussions about education, training and infrastructure and they want, as my friends here are saying, that there is an opportunity to prosper here. where they grew up as well.

in the western end of this district, on the panhandle, panama city, bay county, a very republican area. president obama has lost this district twice. republican steve southerland beat a blue dog democrat in 2010 to win the seat. now that he has had a couple of years in office, he's made a couple of mistakes, particularly on women's issues. he earned some notoriety earlier this year for holding a fundraiser that was closed to women. it was a men only fundraiser, where the invitation: donors not to keep the missus -- the invitation told donors not to keep the missus up waiting. a beloved officeholder. she is running as her father's daughter. she is running as an outsider who has never run for anything before. she has run a superior campaign. this is one of the few instances across the country where a democratic challenger is gaining traction. she's ahead in most of the polling we've seen privately. at the same time, you cannot count sutherland out -- southe rland out. if republicans come home in the weeks before election day, he could tighten up that race. gewen graham.rom [video clip] >
