The statue of liberty is a symbol of freedom. The people of France gave the Statue to the people of the United States more than one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has grown to include freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship. Its located in National Park Services Liberty Island New York, NY. I’ve never seen the statue if liberty but i plan to when i go to New York. One of my teachers from last year went to New York to see the statue of liberty and she said it don’t seem that big but Ill just have to see for myself.

It was given to the U.S. from the french to represent the friendship between two countries established during the American Revolution. It represents a woman wearing a stola (similar to the toga) a crown and sandals, trampling a broken chain, carrying a torch in her raised right hand and in the left is a tablet where the date of the Declaration of Independence is inscribed. It is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.

i know it’s really big and i have never seen it but Americans take or see the statue of liberty as a great monument of freedom and democracy. To me it stands for how far we have come and how far we will continue to go in the future and most Americans will see it or take the meaning or symbolism of the statue of liberty the same. American idealize it as one of the great landmarks in the united sates of America.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States during the American Revolution by the people of France over one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship. France finished the statue in July 1884 & got to New York harbor on June 1885 and on October 28th 1886, the dedication of the Statue of Liberty took place in front of thousands of spectators. She was a centennial gift ten years late.

The statute of liberty is a symbol of freedom and democracy. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France as a token of friendship during the American Revolution in October 28, 1886. It was considered a national monument in 1924 and was restored on July 4, 1986. It’s located on Liberty Island. This monument is important because it showed that the Americans and the French were willing to work together as a team since together they built the pedestal and the statute of liberty. It’s also important because it gave immigrants coming to the new land, hope of a life with freedom and opportunity. This helped make the “melting pot” of America.

i know that it was built October,28,1886 in Ellis island ,new york. It was built as the symbol of friendship between United States and France, named after the “lady liberty”. standing in the of new york the point of entry for many immigrants arriving in ships from other countries the statue of liberty has been a symbol of opportunity for 100 years.
the statue of liberty was built by a Freemason named Frederick A. Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel created the steel framework which keeps the cooper sheeting in tact.

Well what i know about the statue of liberty is that it was a solid copper color instead of a green color. The French gave it to the United states representing their friendship with each other. It represents the sign of freedom since on the tablet inscribes the date the declaration of independence was passed.

To me the statue of liberty is a symbol freedom and values of the American way of life. It was given to America from France in October 28, 1886 as a sign of peace. But to this day it is used as a national symbol of freedom.

living symbol of freedom to the world. Ellis Island is the historic gateway to America where millions of immigrants passed through between 1892 and 1955.

The statue is a great American symbol because it represents friendship between the United States and France.France gave the statue to the U.S. The statue itself is a woman wearing a stola, crown, sandals, a broken chain, and she is raising a torch with her right hand; and on her left arm she is holding a tablet that has the date of the Declaration of Independence on it. The statue is also located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.
