[Ans] The Statue of Liberty was originally intended for which country?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Statue of Liberty was originally intended for which country?"

That’s right, the world’s most recognized symbol of freedom and the American dream, was originally intended for Egypt, which ultimately rejected it for being too old fashioned. The decision came as a disappointment to Lady Liberty’s creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who’d envisioned the Suez Canal as the ideal venue for his mammoth harbor structure. Bartholdi was apparently inspired by the Sphinx and the pyramids and the idea of creating something massive that could be eternal. After his failure in Egypt, the artist shifted his attention to America, which was prospering after the end of the Civil War.

[Answer] What was the state of Washington originally going to be named?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was the state of Washington originally going to be named?"

...As the only U.S. state with a presidential namesake, Washington might not have had the privilege, if it wasn’t for Kentucky representative Richard H. Stanton.

It was originally going to be called “Columbia,” due to the Columbia River running through it, but Stanton thought this might be confused with the national capital, the District of Columbia. Others have since tried to rename the state, as Washington state is ironically sometimes confused with Washington, D.C. But all proposals have stalled, and Washington has stood his ground. Just as he did when he crossed the Delaware.
