Why was the the Statue of Liberty built?

Answer 1

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French people to the United States as a token of mutual friendship . The Statue of Liberty was designed by Frederic A. Bartholdi and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (Eiffel is the same man who did the Eiffel tower ).The idea for the Statue of Liberty came to Mr .Bartholdi as he was sailing into New York and envisioned a woman holding a flame on a pedestal welcoming immigrants to the their new life in the New World. The statue was completed in France in July, 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June of 1885 in 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates on board the French frigate Isere .

The platform, on which the Statue of Liberty was built, was for the war of 1812 and called Fort Wood. It is shaped like a star. The Statue of Liberty's responsibility and upkeep has fallen to many different departments of the US government .The United States Lighthouse Board had responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty until 1901. Later the statue was placed under the War Department. A presidential proclamation declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty within it) a National Monument on October 15th, 1924 and the monument's boundary was set at the outer edge of Fort Wood in 1933. On September 7, 1937 the Monument was transferred to the National Park Service and given the new name of Liberty Island .

There is some symbolism assoicated with the Statue of Liberty, such as the 25 windows on the crown which symbolize gemstones found on the earth. Also, there are the heaven's rays shining over the world. Then there are the seven spocks on the crown which represent the seven seas and continents of the world .

On October 28th, 1886 President Grover Cleveland accepted the Statue on behalf of the United States and said in part: "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

The Statue of Liberty was built by France and given to us for the friendship during the revolutionary war. It is a lady holding a torch and she is trampling on a chain showing that the U.S. broke away from England and also showing that people can break their bonds of servitude to others deemed more powerful.

The statue was built to commemorate an alliance between the United States and France during the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783,and was donated by the French people. The Statue of Liberty was built because it represents freedom and liberty wich is very important to people everywhere.
