In part from Higher Science. The original model of the Statue of Liberty had an African American face that was Given to us by France to pay homage to the slaves whom were brought here by force. The original was refused by America, But was Europeanized because the people of the United States did not want a African American face sitting up there on the harbor so they carved it out in France they had to go back to the drawing board and remodeled the face after patron saint of manifest destiny.
The original statue was made in 1848 and was from the Gold Coast. When the French artist created the statue of Liberty it was suppose to represent the end of slavery. On the original model there were chains on the hands and feet as we know. However, when the statue got to America the government wanted to erase ANY references of slavery from the statue but still the artists fought to keep the chains on there.
