The statue is called “Liberty Enlightening the World”. French: La Liberté éclairant le monde.

Correct. And the statue was conceived by a French abolitionist to commemorate the abolition of slavery in the U.S., to bring attention to slavery still in some French territories (until 1894 in Sudan and 1904 in Senegal).

Slavery will be alive again soon in France for the House of War citizens (what Muslims think of non-Muslims).

One French ingrate is not the whole country.

That said, if France wanted our statue back? Fine.

First surrender to Germany all of France that was occupied in WWII (if they want it.)

OK, drop it on Paris from Orbit.

Consider the US square with Frogistan.
