You clearly haven't got the slightest idea what the Statue of Liberty is all about.

The Statue of Liberty was an 1886 gift from the French. According to the National Park Service, it was given "in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution" and "to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence." Is that inaccurate?

It's a good thing the French donated her when they did. If the donation had been a century later, she'd be holding a white flag instead of a torch.
