Édouard René de Laboulaye
Édouard René de Laboulaye was a French political thinker, professor, and abolitionist, best known for proposing the idea of the Statue of Liberty as a gift from France to the United States. His vision was inspired by the American Civil War and the principles of liberty and democracy that it represented. Laboulaye's advocacy for the statue was rooted in his belief in the importance of freedom and equality, and it ultimately became a symbol of friendship between the two nations.
