America’s looked at by foreign countries as the land of opportunities; when people plan or planned in the past on coming to America, they thought of the Statue of Liberty; and, for them, it was a sign of hope and a better future. The Statue of Liberty is 123 years old; this priceless national jewel was a gift from the French; the birth date of this historic gift is October the 28th, 1886. The statue itself was completed in France in the year 1884. Along with its pedestal, the statue was completed, and dedicated on October 28th, 1886.
This statue has seen many years; immigrants that arrived on Elise Island saw Lady Liberty and found hope and that they would have a better time in America than they had had in their home country. The Statue of Liberty was such an important symbol to people in the past that greater things would happen.
The French gave this gift to America as a gift for Independence. It was important, because the French gave this statue as a centennial gift; it was given ten years after, because of the late timing in creating it. Just as the French thought when giving this gift, immigrants that arrived at Elise Island saw the Statue and recognized its sight and knew that they had arrived in the land of the free.
Even nowadays, Lady Liberty is such a symbol of Freedom. After 9/11, the statue showed our freedom to the world, and while we may have been attacked, it shows that we are a country formed on freedom and that we won’t be moved, nor will we surrender. The statue of Liberty was, is, and will forever be a symbol to the world that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave; and no matter what, that will never change.
