oppression and tyranny. His right foot is on the fly, Liberty Harbor. This symbol of
freedom and liberty is not at rest or at attention in the harbor, moving, as their left foot tramples
broken shackles at her feet, in symbolism of the U.S. desire to be free from oppression and tyranny. The
seven peaks of the crown represent the seven seas and seven continents. His torch lighting means. The
tablet in her hand represents knowledge and shows the date of birth of the nation, July 4, 1776.

Liberty Harbor In 1776 the American colonies opposed the British government through a
series of events which by themselves show no indication that a complete break from England was not even
imaginable. The UK has sought to reduce the debt incurred by the French and Indian War by imposing taxes
on the colonies. Uniform resentment and opposition of these charges lead to the repeal of the Stamp Act
of 1765 and the Townshend Act of 1767 by Parliament. However, the repeal of the Townshend Act is not
without bloodshed. To protest the Townshend Act, colonists boycotted British products. In 1768, public
officials angered the U.S. request for British troops to occupy Boston to restore order. Although
nothing happened immediately, the settlers have continued to boycott British goods, while the tension
between residents and the English is becoming more tense. In 1770, a skirmish between the local
population more and more British soldiers became belligerent and violent. The skirmish is known as the
Boston Massacre. Many patriots die. The news of the fight spread rapidly and ignites the flame of the
settlers would have had to cut the ties of England. Then Parliament repeals the Townshend Act, but still
the tax on tea. In 1773, despite the peace that reigned temporarily in Boston, the tax on tea becomes
more and more irritating to the American colonists.
Therefore, during the first year of 1870, Bartholdi began to conceive the creation of the statue. Over
the years, he and his team used single sheets of copper were hammered, pressed, bent into shape and
joined to form the statue. On 28 October 1886, the Statue of Liberty was dedicated to the United States
of America.
