1) Some were against it because it was foreign - it was actually a gift from France, with America paying only for the pedestal. The French were supporters of the American fight for freedom, so they gave them this gift.
2)The Statue of Liberty looks blue-green because of a chemical reaction of copper ( the metal that she is made of) to the air. The surface of the statue is covered with hundreds of thin copper sheets. The copper reacts to the air to form a patina or verdigris.
