Pennsylvania suffragists commissioned a replica of the Liberty Bell.
Movements from Women's Suffrage to Civil Rights embraced the Liberty Bell for both protest and celebration. For a nation recovering from wounds of the Civil War, the bell served to remind Americans of a time when they fought together for independence.
Beginning in the late 1800s, the Liberty Bell traveled across the country for display at expositions and fairs, stopping in towns small and large along the way. Millions of Americans became familiar with the bell in popular culture through George Lippard's 1847 fictional story "Ring, Grandfather, Ring", when the bell came to symbolize pride in a new nation. The Anti-Slavery Record, an abolitionist publication, first referred to the bell as the Liberty Bell in 1835, but that name was not widely adopted until years later. "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof," the bell's inscription, provided a rallying cry for abolitionists wishing to end slavery. The State House bell became a herald of liberty in the 19th century.
