Who presented the statue of liberty to the USA?

Statue of Liberty


The mighty  gorgeous Statue  of Liberty was a
present to the United States by France for the
countries 100th year  anniversary in 1876. But
this famous statue was not donated by France
government. The money was raised  from the
contributions by French citizens.



     For the concrete base on which the statue
was to be placed, the citizens of America  
raised the money. The statue, when mounted
on top of the base, towered 300 feet above
the surrounding waters!

The statue is covered with copper plates which
originally was bright and shining .But with time
the copper reacts with air and water and pollution
in the atmosphere and changes colour.Today, the
statue looks entirely green!
