The French gave the Statue of Liberty to the United States as a token of their thanks for their support and help of the creation of their own democracy. However, only the statue was made by France. The pedestal on which it stands was built by the US.

Exactly my point, my friend. The thing is, and I'll try to avoid sterotyping Americans as they so carelessly do with Arabs. It is un-"American" to strip so many of their liberty in the name of "freedom". It is un"Christian" to disrespect a fellow human the way that has been done. It is extremely naive to think that the Bush administration is trying to help, knowing that Bush's family has gathered so much wealth through the exploitation of petroleum. I don't see how people don't spend more time on questions like these. Questions that matter. Thank you very much, my friend. (BTW, I'm an American Citizen of a Christian Church)

PLEASE RESOLVE, NOT REMOVE...\n\nThe Declaration of Independence was "signed" by many of America's "founding fathers" starting on July 4, 1776.  \n\nAt the time, the US was not a country yet - this document demanded and declared its independence from England.  I don't think it was 'formally' adopted by the country but it set the US on the road to BEING a country and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.\n\nHere's a timeline:\nJune 7 Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, receives Richard Henry Lee's resolution urging Congress to declare independence. \nJune 11 Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston appointed to a committee to draft a declaration of independence. American army retreats to Lake Champlain from Canada. \nJune 12-27 Jefferson, at the request of the committee, drafts a declaration, of which only a fragment exists. Jefferson's clean, or "fair" copy, the "original Rough draught," is reviewed by the committee. Both documents are in the manuscript collections of the Library of Congress. \nJune 28 A fair copy of the committee draft of the Declaration of Independence is read in Congress. \nJuly 1-4 Congress debates and revises the Declaration of Independence. \nJuly 2 Congress declares independence as the British fleet and army arrive at New York. \nJuly 4 Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence in the morning of a bright, sunny, but cool Philadelphia day. John Dunlap prints the Declaration of Independence. These prints are now called "Dunlap Broadsides." Twenty-four copies are known to exist, two of which are in the Library of Congress. One of these was Washington's personal copy. \nJuly 5 John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, dispatches the first of Dunlap's broadsides of the Declaration of Independence to the legislatures of New Jersey and Delaware. \nJuly 6 Pennsylvania Evening Post of July 6 prints the first newspaper rendition of the Declaration of Independence. \nJuly 8 The first public reading of the Declaration is in Philadelphia. \nJuly 9 Washington orders that the Declaration of Independence be read before the American army in New York \nJuly 19 Congress orders the Declaration of Independence engrossed (officially inscribed) and signed by members. \nAugust 2 Delegates begin to sign engrossed copy of the Declaration of Independence. A large British reinforcement arrives at New York after being repelled at Charleston, S.C. \n1777 \nJanuary 18 Congress, now sitting in Baltimore, Maryland, orders that signed copies of the Declaration of Independence printed by Mary Katherine Goddard of Baltimore be sent to the states.

Um, it's a well-known statue.  Your question is not worded properly and really doesn't make sense.

Poland sent us Thaddeus Kosciusko, he was a General.  There's a statue to him at the US Military Academy at West Point.\n\nFrance sent us LaFayette.  He became like a son to General George Washington.  LaFayette gave Washington a key to the Bastille.  The key is on the wall at Mount Vernon, Washington's home.\n\nThe British used German Troops and the US countered by using German-American Troops.

For your information, the 2 dollar bill was printed in 1976 (to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence) and reissued in 1996. We don't have it right now because the bill is for mainly commemorative purposes.It has Thomas Jefferson on the front and is the only bill that has people on the back. The 1976 bill has Monticello (Thomas's home) on the back. The more recent version has the famous painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence (done by John Trumbull) on the back. And I don't have a question off the top of my head. Sorry.

It was new york and new jersey that fought over the right to Ellis island and to the statue of liberty and the rights to it.  Although, as most of us know, new york won.

No it's not even listed as a modern wonder. The Statue of Liberty is on the Modern Day but not the Falls

The sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, was born into a well-to-do middle-class family in Colmar, France, on August 2, 1834.\n\nMany people believed Charlotte Bartholdi (1801-1891) was the model for the statue. Others thought it was based on her son's early drawings for a never-commissioned statue in Egypt. The sculptor's true inspiration for his masterpiece remains a mystery.

It was a gift from France t ocommorate the 100th anniversary of the United States, Frederic Bartholdi was the designer and the Statue was dedicated in 1886.  It was gifted as the result of our help in any war but as a thanks to the beacon we were seen as, espceially with the French Revolution following in the footsteps of the American Revolution (which they helped us win).

"On 10 August 1846, the United States Congress passed the legislation (9 Stat. 102) founding the Smithsonian Institution as an establishment dedicated to the "increase and diffusion of knowledge," and President James K. Polk signed it into law the same day. "\n\nThere's a lot of good history on the Smithsonian's official website at http://siarchives.si.edu/history/main_generalhistory.html

I would take it to Christies Auction. I can bet it's really worthless since every square inch of Manhattan is spoken for. Maybe you could write Donald Trump and ask him about it too.
