No more than bronze copper, tin, small amounts of lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver, it was the symbol that stood up for, the ironic message of anti-slavery and abolitionists attempt to be a slave free nation and for Proclaiming "Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof..." Liberty Bell's reason still roams with us today.
Liberty Bell was the joy of knowing that our independence was officially ours. It lived out to be ninety-four years out old before the hairline crack took away all its chance to ring again in proud song of our now free land. Liberty Bell suffered so many injuries from rough handling, being re-casted with too much copper, re-casted again, and another recast, until at final ring on February 22, 1846 did the crack become far from repair for our dear Liberty Bell.
Liberty Bell still has its purpose even though it hasn't rung over one hundred and sixty-two years. Still in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, may Liberty Bell's spiritual ring ring forever.

Great idea to do an obituary for the bell... sometimes we have to think outside the box... it works to your benefit.
