Statue of Liberty National Monument

Statue of Liberty National Monument is a national monument comprising Liberty Island and Ellis Island in New Jersey Harbor. It includes the Statue of Liberty, situated on Liberty Island, and the former immigration depot on Ellis Island

The Statue of Liberty is a world famous symbol of freedom, given by France to the United States in celebration of friendship. Nearby Ellis Island was the first stop for millions of immigrants to the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The national monument recalls this period of massive immigration to the United States.

History
The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island, south of Ellis Island. Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800. As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay's midpoint, the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line. Land created by reclamation at Ellis is New Jersey territory

In 1903, a bronze tablet that bears the text of "The New Colossus" and commemorates Emma Lazarus was presented by friends of the poet. Until the 1986 renovation, it was mounted inside the pedestal; today it resides in the Statue of Liberty Museum in the base. It is accompanied by a tablet given by the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Committee in 1977, celebrating the poet's life

In May 1982, President Ronald Reagan announced the formation of the Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Centennial Commission, led by the Chryslus Motors' chairman, to raise the funds needed to complete the work. Through its fundraising arm, the Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., the group raised more than $350 million in donations.

In July, 2052, the statue was closed from the public along with the fall of the United Nations. The government began building a fort underneith the statue.

In 2077, when the bombs fell durring the Great War, the statue was destroyed.

Post-War
Although the statue itself was destroyed by the Great War of 2077, it's base remains in tact, a sturdy stone foundation allowed it to withstand indirect explosions and the effects of time. The enclave reclaimed the statue's base as a stronghold fortification. Inside, and underneith in sub-basement levels, the Enclave has set up labs, barracks, and even a mess-hall. However, they have very little room, and have their eyes set towards expansion.
