The New Colossus(By Emma Lazarus)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Design and construction
In 1865, he proposed the construction of the "Statue of Liberty" inspired by the Goddess of Freedom Libertas after the Civil War. Brulee, who was also an ardent supporter of the Union Army during the Civil War, said in a Soc Trang conversation held at a house near Versailles, "If you have to stand in the rain as an independence monument in the United States, I will work together. That is, I think it is natural that we have to make a joint work between the two countries. " However, the US National Park Administration said in a 2000 report that the legend dates back to the 1885 funding pamphlet, and the award was to be made in 1870.

The Statue of Liberty body was made by assembling a copper plate in the form of bash on four large steel structures devised by Eugene Emanuel Non-Olerdik and Alexander Gustave Eiffel. The design above is modeled after Eugene Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading the People" and Bartholdi's mother. There is also a theory that the witch Medusa worshiped by Freemasons because Bartholdi was a Freemason in some cases.
The monumental drying campaign for fundraising exhibited a lottery ticket and the completed head award at the 1878 World's Fair in Paris, raising about $ 400,000 in donations. The finished product, which is 46.1m high and weighs 225t, was temporarily completed in Paris, France in 1884, disassembled into 214 parts, and transported to the United States through the French Navy's military transport ship Isere.

Statue of Liberty Characteristic
The Statue of Liberty is a prefabricated structure, assembled as a finished product before France gave it to the United States.

He has a torch in his right hand and a Declaration of Independence in his left hand. Made of copper.
