In 1776, the large statue of King George III in New York City was toppled by American colonists following the Declaration of Independence. The statue, which had been erected in 1770, was pulled down on July 9, 1776, in a display of defiance against British rule. The metal from the statue was later melted down and repurposed to make bullets for the Continental Army. This act symbolized the colonists' rejection of monarchy and their commitment to independence.
