Where did the Statue of Liberty come from and why, Sherman Logan?
Okay, I’ll bite.
The French people raised the money for the statue itself through private donations. It was called “Liberty Enlightening the World.” The Emma Lazarus poem has completely changed the meaning of the statue for most people from the original intent.
What’s your point?
I fail to see how the SOL of 1876 has much relevance to the 1780s.
