Why did they built the Statue of Liberty for?

Answer 1

The Statue of Liberty was built to commemorate the end of slavery in America. Orignally, it had the face of an African American woman. When it was presented to the U.S. minister, however, he told the French that the face of a black woman would offend the South and remind them of their defeat. They changed the face, showed it again, and this time the U.S. excepted it.

So basically, even the name of the statue--the Statue of Liberty--is pretty much a lie. It had nothing to do with America's freedom, patriotism, or anything like that. This is just one of the examples of scum trying to hold others down.

Answer 2

It was a logical location for it's symbolism near Ellis Island.

Answer 3

They stuck the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island, because it was a simbol of freedom, and they wanted all of the immigrants coming into America to feel welcome and free.
