🦄History of the Statue of Liberty

This statue has a meaning that the American people have a democracy and freedom. Freedom of expression, right as freedom to choose, right to freedom of action and right to freedom Therefore, in a statue, having a freedom is very important for the citizens of the United States, because this statue is very historic for them.

This statue is an idea of ​​a friend of George Washington, the first president of the United States. George Washington's best friend is Edouard Rene de Laboulaye Lefebvre. Laboulaye is a lawyer and thinker from France.

The position of the United States of America is closely tied to the role of France. During the revolution, France surrendered weapons to the colonies in the United States. These weapons were used to break free from the British occupation which was invading America at that time.

In 1865, several American authorities gathered with French intellectuals who spoke out against Napoleon III's regime. French intellectuals say they admire the creation of the American state. 

And America succeeded in becoming a democratic country and freeing slavery at the end of the civil war.One of the guests at the dinner was Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi. Bartholdi is a famous 31 year old sculptor. He comes from Colmar, Alcase, one of the eastern provinces of France. Bartholdi was attracted to Laboulaye's ideas and inspired him. Initially, this statue resembled a female model from a village wearing a head scarf and robe. 

Barry Morena's quote from the Smithsonian Institution indicates that the statue was made by a resident of Fellah, which means a rural population of Arab blood.

At that time, most of the Egyptian population was Muslim. However, the Egyptian government rejected Bartholdi's proposal to gain a foothold in the Suez Canal. Because Egypt had not experienced fame at that time, the symbol of the statue was considered incompatible with reality.
