Following our visit to Ellis Island is The Statue of Liberty. The statue is located on Liberty Island, New York. This statue was built way back in October 15th of 1886 and placed in New York in October 28th 1886.There is more to the statue than meets the eye. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated and given to the United States from France. Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom, her appearance is from ancient Rome's goddess Libertas, the goddess of freedom from slavery, opression and tyranny. There is also symbolism behind her left foot which is raised up symbolizing how freedom is not standing still. As well as the seven spikes on the crown which represent the seven continents, and enlightenment which is symbolized with her torch. The last symbol on the statue is the tablet in her hand which shows the date of the nation's birth, July 4, 1776.
