The Statue of Liberty stands in the New York Harbor and has greeted many immigrants into Ellis Island. At the time, Lady Liberty was letting them know that their journey to find freedom, democracy, and a better way of life, was officially over. The Statue of Liberty is very important to many Americans because of what it represents. (Statue of Liberty National Monument)(Immigration) In 1865, Edvouvard de Laboulaye, of France, thought of the idea to build the Statue of Liberty while he was on a visit to New York. He commissioned Frederick-Auguste Bartholdi to design the statue. Barthholdi needed someone with experience with building the outer skeletons of statues, so he asked for the assistance of Alexandre Gustave Eiffel. While designing.
(The Statue of Liberty) Before they could even start to build the statue, France and America had to make a compromise. France would build the statue and America would build the pedestal. In order to make this happen both countries had to do a lot of fundraising. France did various types of entertainment, public fees, and a lottery. America did theatrical events, art exhibits, and auctions. Even while doing all those fundraisers’, neither country was making enough money. So Joseph Pulitzer took a stand. He used his very popular newspaper and critized the rich and middle class in an article. He blamed the middle class for depending on the rich, and the rich for not helping financially. His idea worked like a charm. Fundraisers’ after that were going better than ever. Once both sides had reached the amount of money needed to build, they got started building right away! (Statue of Liberty History) When building Lady Liberty the sculptors were suppose to keep the year 1876 in mind to have it completed, but since funds were slow early out the Statue of Liberty was going to be a gift that was a decade late. It was completed in France July of 1884. In order to get the statue to America they had to disassemble it into 350 individual pieces and load those pieces on 214 crates. Unlike the statue the hand and torch were sent in one whole piece.
