Why is the Statue of Liberty a symbol for freedom in the United States?

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom in the United States because it was a gift from France to celebrate the independence of the U.S. In other words, it means that it commemorates the freedom that the United States had to fight to obtain.

It is also a symbol for freedom because it welcomed immigrants, that escaped from wars, persecutions or misery, into a safe land where they could thrive.

Even though it does not welcome ships with hopeful immigrants anymore, it still symbolizes it.

Explanation:

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the U.S to celebrate 100 years of independence from England. It was the first thing that characterized the statue as a symbol of freedom.  Later, as it is on Liberty Island, just in front of Ellis Island, where immigrants scaping persecutions and wars, were welcomed, she became a symbol of liberty for the U.S since it was the first thing that people saw when arriving.

Also, the Statue of Liberty has elements that represent freedom, thriving, and equality for all the people in the world.
