How long did it take for the Statue of Liberty take to be built?
The Statue of Liberty was built in France 1882, was transported to America on October 28, 1886 and was then pronounced the Statue of Liberty. France and America both worked on the Statue of Liberty. France was building the actual statue and America was working on the foundation for the statue. Both had trouble financing their efforts so the statue was actually about 10 years late from the time the visionaries wanted to dedicate the statue. Anyhow, the statue was completed in July of 1884 in France but the foundation for her wasn't completed until 1886 in America. On October 28, 1886 the dedication of the statue took place after she had been transported from France to the US in crates and then reassembled.
What gift did France give to America in 1886?
The Statue of Liberty! The l886 monument was delivered ten years too late ( even if you allow for slow transit of sailing ships).It almost goes without saying the Staue of Liberty would not have been built if not for the hammering activities- of the Newspaper bigwigs of the time such as Joseph Pulitzer. The Federal Government was in a very real sense, reluctant to get involved- the star shaped base of the statue on Bedloe"s Island ( now called Liberty Isle) was part of an old Fort. It was something of a controversial use of Federal moneys and the real ( Clinchers) were aggressive newspaper publishers. As far as known there was no popular referendum, unlike that on an unbuilt (sensibly) baseball stadium in the meadowlands the voters voted down some years ago.

Who gave the United States the Statue of Liberty?
Not a single person gave us Miss Liberty. However, if had not been for President Lincoln's proposal of the Declaration of Independence there would not have been an initial reason for requesting such a commemorative sculpture. The sculpture was requested to honor the centennial of the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution and the new friendship built between France and The United States of America.
