Slide3Right info or Truth
The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S.A. The Statue is a symbol that America has liberty, no slavery or monarchy. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel and sculpted by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi. It was a lighthouse in it’s earlier years. The statue was made in France and sent over piece by piece. The pedestal was made by America though. Liberty Island is located in New Jersey state border but it is New York’s island.
Slide4Wrong info or Myth
The Statue of Liberty was a going to be a gift to many other Countries before U.S.A. It was going to be an African lady or a Roman goddess. It was designed by a random 21 year old. It is a light house. The statue was made in America but the pedestal was crafted in France. Liberty Island was always in the New York state border.
Slide5From Here on Out

Not myth at all!!!
Slide6Gift to America or not

Slide7Stands for

Slide8Design
Gustave Eiffel designed the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of LibertyThe statue was sculpted Frederic-Auguste BartholdiA random 21 year old didn’t design itIn fact if you looked at the infrastructure of the statue you would see it looks like the tower
Slide9Statue:France:Pedestal:U.S.A
The title is an analogy meaning France made the statue and the U.S.A made the pedestalIt was certainly not the other way around because then Gustave would not have designed it and Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi would not have sculpted it
Slide10Liberty Island
