France gave the Statue (Liberty Enlightening the World) to the US as a gift on the centennial of the US in 1876. However, only the torch arm was transported to the US then, appearing at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and later in New York City. After fund raising in both France and the US, the statue was finally completed, assembled on Bedloe's Island (Liberty Island) and dedicated on October 28, 1886.
They felt generous. Also, they wanted to commemorate 1776, which gave them the idea for their own revolution.
Yes it was and it symbolized to the immigrants that were coming to the US that they were going to be treated fairly.

I DONT KNOW YET
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.
