The United States did not give anything to France for the Statue of Liberty; rather, France gifted the statue to the U.S. in 1886 as a symbol of friendship and shared values, particularly liberty and democracy. The statue, designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, was intended to commemorate the centennial of American independence and celebrate the enduring alliance between the two nations. In return, the U.S. provided the pedestal for the statue, which was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt.
