DESCRIPTION:Historian and author of \\"Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to C
 onnect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\,\\" Jessica M. 
 Lepler walks us through the failed idea to build the world’s first inter
 oceanic canal.\n\nIn the 1820s\, there was a little-known dream to unite t
 he world by building a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A
 s Spanish American nations declared independence and new canals intensifie
 d US expansion and British industrialization\, many imagined the construct
 ion of an interoceanic canal as predestined.\n\nAlthough the idea of liter
 ally changing the world by connecting the oceans proved too revolutionary 
 for the Age of Revolution\, the quest itself changed history. Canal dreams
  prompted political transformations\, financial crisis\, recognition of ne
 w countries\, concern about climate change\, and more. Full of adventure\,
  corruption\, far-reaching consequences\, and present-day parallels\, Lepl
 er’s absorbing narrative cuts through two centuries\, revealing that dre
 ams do not need to come true to make history.\n\nThis episode is sponsored
  by an anonymous Bookworm patron.\n\nThe Clements Bookworm is a free month
 ly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history.
