Why did they build the Liberty Bell?

Answer 1

The Liberty Bell was ordered in 1751 to commemorate William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, which had been passed 50 years earlier. It was cast in 1752 in London and commissioned as the bell for the Pennsylvania State House (now called Independence Hall). The Liberty Bell represented the freedoms valued by the Pennsylvania colony. Its founder, William Penn, showed unique free thinking with his novel ideas on religious freedom, Native American rights, and citizen participation in government.

The bell's first crack appeared during the test ringing. It was recast with more copper to make the metal alloy stronger. The bell cracked again when it was rung during John Marshall's funeral in 1835. The Liberty Bell rang its last note in 1846 to honor George Washington's birthday. After the bell was rung on Washington's birthday, there appeared a distinct jagged line that prevented the bell from ever being rung again.

Answer 2

The bell now called the Liberty Bell was made because Philadelphia needed a larger bell that could be heard at a greater distance than the bell they were using.
