why was the statue of liberty given to the us
The Statue of Liberty in New York is not the real statue. it is a larger copy of the original. The original was 1 or 2 statues. One was sent to the USA as a gift for declaring independance from a monarchist regime and creating a liberal society the other one was kept in France. These statues symbolised the close ties between the two nations as sister nations of Liberty. Hope this helps.
