centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and is a gesture of friendship from France to the United States
holler @ ya boi
there is a statue of liberty here but is there still one in france..?
and why is the statue of liberty placed in new york other than in the other states...?
I received a couple of anwsers when searching this though i think this is the right one..."suitable gift to the United States to mark the Centennial of the American Declaration of Independence" i also found...Actually... The statue was given to America as a gift for humiliating England. The design of the statue was rubbish because it was constructed by the french.America rebuilt the inside to make it last. But still... That makes it half French and half American............... So it will always be a a waste of the copper its been built from!
Oh, in celebration of the signing of the the Declaration of Independence
heyy ms.b! watz up???
It commemorates the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.

At first, France wanted to give the Statue of Liberty to the United States in 1876. That would be just in time for the 100-year celebration of the Declaration of Independence

the signing of the decloration of independence.
The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and is a gesture of friendship from France to the United States.[6] Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue[7] and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure.[8] Maurice Koechlin - chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower - engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.

100 years ago from when they gave us the Statue of Liberty, the Declaration of Independence was signed. So it's like a celebration of that?

Discussions in France over a suitable gift to the United States to mark the Centennial of the American Declaration of Independence were headed by the politician and sympathetic writer of the history of the United States, Édouard René de Laboulaye. French sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi was commissioned to design a sculpture with the year 1876 in mind for completion. The idea for the commemorative gift then grew out of the political turmoil which was shaking France at the time. The French Third Republic was still considered as a "temporary" arrangement by many, who wished a return to monarchism, or to some form of constitutional authoritarianism such as they had known under Napoleon. The idea of giving a colossal representation of republican virtues to a "sister" republic across the sea served as a focus for the republican cause against other politicians.
