The statue is a symbol of liberty of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.

A France law professor and politician Eduard Rennie de Labaullei inspired Bartley. Who in 1865 remarked that a monumental American gained independence, it would be a joint project of the French and American people in the right way. He may have been minded to respect the Union victory in the American Civil War and the end of slavery. Due to the post-war unsteadiness in France, work on the statue did not originate until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the Americans offer the site and make the stand. Before completing the statue, the head and the spear carry a full torch, and these pieces were displayed for the promotion in the Global Exposure.
