Why was the the Statue of Liberty built?
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. _Atira Nair
Who was the designer of the Statue of Liberty's pedestal?
The pedestal was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in 1881. It fits inside the structure of Fort Wood, a disused army base on Bedloe's Island constructed between 1807 and 1811. The fort itself was built in the shape of an eleven-point star.
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.
