The Statue of Liberty

Sara Michelle Rojas España


Tenth grade
Origin
The idea for the Statue of Liberty
originated in France during the 1860s.
French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi
conceived the idea of creating a giant
statue as a gift to commemorate the
centennial of the United States Declaration
of Independence and to celebrate the
friendship between France and the United
States, two nations that had fought for
freedom and democracy.
Creation
It was designed by Auguste Bartholdi, a
French sculptor, who took about 11
years to build it, with the help of
engineer Gustave Eiffel, famous for
designing the Eiffel Tower. The statue
was built in France in sections and then
shipped to the United States for final
assembly.
Delivery
The Statue of Liberty was officially
dedicated to the United States on
October 28, 1886. A grand
dedication ceremony was held on
Liberty Island (formerly known as
Bedloe's Island), where the statue
was erected as a symbol of freedom
and democracy.
