  9. THE STATUE OF LIBERTY She represents the United States and she welcomes all visitors and immigrants. But the famous Statue of Liberty standing in New York harbour was built in France. It all started at dinner one night near Paris in 1865. A group of Frenchmen were discussing their emperor and the democratic government for the U.S. They decided to build a monument to American freedom—and perhaps even strengthen French demands for democracy in their own country. At that dinner was the sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi. He imagined a statue of a woman holding a torch burning with the light of freedom. An internal iron structure was designed by Gustave Eiffel. Turning Bartholdi’s idea into reality took 21 years. French supporters raised money to build the statue, and Americans paid for the pedestal it would stand on. The statue was presented to the U.S., taken apart, shipped across the Atlantic Ocean in crates and rebuilt in the U.S. It was France’s gift to the American people. Finally, in 1886, the statue was dedicated.
