Why was the Statue of Liberty built?

Since I was a child, I have seen that almost all painting and pictures about New York City have the Statue of Liberty, likewise, many movies scenes as identification of the city. As a recent immigrant to this beautiful city, I am wondering about “Why was the Statue of Liberty built?” How she became one of the most famous and important icons of New York City. I am also interested in the meaning of the Statue of Liberty for immigrants. Those inquiries motivate me doing a research paper seeking some information about the Statue of Liberty history.

In order to do a research paper that will allow the reader to understand the importance of “Why was the Statue of Liberty built?”. I will be using several credible sources.

I want to use this source for my research paper because I trust the information in there, this site provides general information on some commonly encountered immigration matters.

Explores it themes like The French Connection and Popular Culture. I trust this source because it is signed by The National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior.
