Not sure if this is true (I've done 0 research) but I def also heard they shipped it here in stages and I think they displayed the various parts. Like the arm and torch were on display before they put it all together.
This is a fascinating read and a really interesting part of our history that basically sowed the seeds of revolution in the hearts of the colonial public.
And it's written in a way that isn't totally painful to read today.

Let me know if there is a treasure map on the back. I may revisit it.
Okay. Well I read through how I started this thread.
I didn't mention John Adams. Do you guys know his story? It's fucking amazing.
He defended the British who shot all the colonists during the Boston massacre and he got them off.... Freaking shocking..... In front of a colonist jury he got the British off like he got them acquitted.
Then the stupid fucking British said yeah every trial from now on is going to be tried in England. So John Adams was like fuck that, why did I just do all that work if king George is gonna straight up fuck me? So then he became a patriot and became a founding father who fought to get us our freedom.
That is a very elementary explanation of it but it's basically how it happened.

This was funny!
Wish you could watch it too IRBS. It skewers the American weights and measurements systems.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I watched a good chunk of SNL from the local provider here (Global TV) and caught the weights & measures skit. Pretty funny. Actually the whole show wasn't that bad. But my God they have a big cast.
