Nice one Vercetti!

You're right.
ShortCake, the Statue of Liberty
was a gift from the French for 100 years independence. Entirely French made. The only thing the US had to pay for was to make its base on that small island out of New York. The Statue of Liberty was designed by a French architect (the same one who did the Eiffel Tower), and built entirely. A GIFT.
Still, the past.
Oh and
ShortCake, can you please read my post for once?
Thank-you,
