"Statue of Freedom" is a bronze statue by Thomas Crawford that is located atop the dome of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC.

"Freedom" is a female allegorical figure who holds a sheathed sword in her right hand and a laurel wreath of victory and the shield of the United States with thirteen stripes in her left hand. She wears a helmet adorned with stars and an eagle's head. A brooch inscribed "U.S." secures her fringed robes. She stands on a cast-iron globe encircled with the national motto, E Pluribus Unum. The lower part of the base is decorated with fasces and wreaths. Ten bronze points tipped with platinum are attached to her headdress, shoulders, and shield for protection from lightning. The bronze statue stands 19 feet 6 inches tall and weighs approximately 15,000 pounds. Her crest rises 288 feet above the east front plaza.

For many years, most people thought that "Freedom" was a Native American figure because of the eagle feathers on her helmet and the difficulty of seeing her from ground level. Others have mistaken her for a representation of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war.

A monumental statue for the top of the national Capitol appeared in Architect Thomas U. Walter's original drawing for the new cast-iron dome, which was authorized in 1855. Walter's drawing showed the outline of a statue representing "Liberty"; Crawford proposed an allegorical figure of "Freedom triumphant in War and Peace". After Secretary of War Jefferson Davis objected to the sculptor's intention to include a liberty cap, the symbol of freed slaves, Crawford replaced it with a crested Roman helmet.

Crawford was commissioned to design the "Statue of Freedom" in 1855 and executed the plaster model for the statue in his studio in Rome. He died in 1857 before the model left his studio. The model, packed into six crates, was shipped from Italy in a small sailing vessel in the spring of 1858. During the voyage the ship began to leak and stopped in Gibraltar for repairs. After leaving Gibraltar, the ship began leaking again to the point that it could go no farther than Bermuda, where the model was stored until other transportation could be arranged. Half of the crates finally arrived in New York in December, but all sections were not in Washington D.C. until late March of 1859.

Beginning in 1860, the statue was cast in five main sections by Clark Mills, whose bronze foundry was located on the outskirts of Washington. Work was halted in 1861 because of the Civil War, but by the end of 1862 the statue was finished and temporarily displayed on the Capitol grounds. The cost of the statue, exclusive of installation, was $23,796.82. Late in 1863, construction of the dome was sufficiently advanced for the installation of the statue, which was hoisted in sections and assembled atop the cast-iron pedestal. The final section, the figure's head and shoulders, was raised on December 2, 1863, to a salute of 35 guns answered by the guns of the 12 forts around Washington.

In 1993, after almost 130 years in place, the bronze statue was brought down from its pedestal for restoration. The work was needed because of extensive pitting and corrosion on the surface of the bronze and because of a crack and rusting on the cast-iron pedestal. The project was guided by the recommendations of a thorough conservation and engineering study conducted in 1991. The United States Capitol Preservation Commission provided $780,000 in privately raised funds, which covered all project costs.

The plaster model of the statue, which had been in storage for 25 years, was reassembled and restored in the basement rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building, where it was returned to permanent public display in January 1993. On May 9, 1993, the statue was removed by helicopter.

The cast-iron pedestal was restored in place atop the dome. The metal was stripped of paint, and the wreaths and fasces were removed to ensure that they were thoroughly cleaned and coated. The crack was permanently repaired, and the entire pedestal was primed and painted with a color specially mixed to match the statue.

Restoration of the statue and the pedestal was completed in approximately four months. The "Statue of Freedom" was returned to its pedestal by helicopter on October 23, 1993, amidst the congressional celebration of the bicentennial of the U.S. Capitol.

The head of the statue is depicted on a postage stamp (United States Scott No. 573), which is due to be re-issued in 2006.

You're only 13 and already screwing your brains with conspiracy crap videos? Oh, you'll have a bright future....

i know but 13 y/o have there own thoughts and opinions about everything, im not gonna let older ppl run my life forever

kid, first learn the conventional stuff about the world, so you'll have a grip on what the majority is calling reality, then you can play with conspiracies all you want. it's safer that way, believe me. unless you want to end up in a mental institution before you hit 20. take care

Her historical name is Persephone,Her very name means "She Who Destroys the Light." She stands atop the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The act of standing upon property is an aggressive legal demonstradont_use_thisawyer will tell you that standing upon a thing is an ultimate proof of ownership in adverse possession. Persephone, with the ancient pagan heritage she embodies, quite literally….owns the entire facility she crowns. The United States Congress belongs to her. But how did Persephone (officials gave her the name Freedom) achieve her place of honor over Washington? Who put her there? When? Under what circumstances? What is the theological history of this “only authorized Symbol of American heritage?” What is her future?

statue of freedom. bs. it is Columbia.

maybe some people need to think before they post especially ppl that are stubborn and think that you cant think different than them or your wrong

well if she is the Goddess of the underworld her future is to get her ass beat

but by whom?

that means you 92709 think before you post

Persephone, Goddess of the underworld

But they say something else nice sounding to the sheeples

92093 think so? Think again dickhead. Worshipped by many names.

so who would be the obvious enemy of the Goddess of the underworld?

i dont give a shit who "worships" you, i could give a Fvck less what you atleast im not contridicting you just stfu or leave my thread

well apparently the "president" and all of the other world leaders are with persephone, could it be that anti-christ has already come, and has been here for so long right under are noses

Great detective work kiddo! Did
you know that the capital grounds
on the original plat was called
"rome". Do you ever wonder why
the capital has a statue of Mars
outside the entrance and why Washington
is being hoisted to heaven in a
chariot?

The anti-christ is already here and has been for some time.

The District Of Columbia...


They named the city after her.
