The bell was first adopted as a symbol by abolitionist societies in the 1830's, who dubbed it the "Liberty Bell." The bell became famous after an 1847 short story claimed that an aged bell-ringer rang it on July 4, 1776, upon hearing of the Second Continental Congress's vote for independence. However, no bells were rung that day, because the Second Continental Congress did not make any announcement of the vote for independence on that date. The Liberty Bell became even more famous when it traveled to various exhibitions and celebrations around the country.
