The Liberty Bell is one of the most famous relics of American history.
Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the bell was created in London and shipped to its destination in 1752.
The bell’s booming knell (see definition and hear pronunciation below) was used to announce meetings at the State House.
On July 8, 1776, the bell is perhaps one of many that rang that day to alert citizens of the reading of the Declaration of Independence.
It was in the 1830s, however, that the bell came to symbolize the anti-slavery movement and was named the Liberty Bell.
Now, it is considered one of the country’s most important historic symbols!
