This was going to make a big damage on the credibility of the church and the skepticism towards it would have grown more and more.

<u>Answer:</u>

When the Statue of Liberty was finished in 1886, it was an image of fellowship with France, and a festival of big government and the finish of American subjugation. It was not, in any case, the image of welcome to the worlds drained and clustered masses that it is today.

To de Laboulaye, the finish of American subjugation was the last advance in the US turning into a reference point of majority rules system to the world, clarifies George Tselos, head documenter for the statue and neighboring Ellis Island.
