Nangona ngoku yeyona nto impawu ezinkulu zehlabathi inkululeko, iBell Bell yayingeyona nto ibonisa amandla. Eyasetyenziselwa ukubiza iPhalamende yasePennsylvania kwiintlanganiso, iBell yayisandulwanga kungekudala kuphela ngabasemagunyeni kunye nabaxhasi, kodwa kunye nabameli bamaLungelo oLuntu, amaMerika aseMelika, abafuduki, abaqhankqalazi bemfazwe kunye namanye amaqela njengezimboli zabo. Unyaka ngamnye, abantu abayizigidi ezimbini bahamba baya eBell ukuze bajonge kwaye baqikelele intsingiselo yayo.
Iziqalo ezithobekileyo
Insimbi ngoku ibizwa ngokuba yiBell Liberty yafakwa kwi-Founded Whitec in the East End yaseLondon kwaye yathunyelwa kwisakhiwo esibizwa ngokuba yi-Independence Hall, kwindlu ye- Pennsylvania State, ngo-1752. malunga nomlomo kunye ne-44-pound clapper. Okubhaliweyo phezulu kwakuyinxalenye yevesi eBhayibhileni elivela kwiLevitikus, "Memezela Ukukhulula kulo lonke umhlaba kuwo wonke abemi balo."
Ngelishwa, i-clapper yaphuka insimbi ekusebenziseni kwayo kokuqala. Abambalwa bezobugcisa basekuhlaleni, uJohn Pass noJohn Stow, baphinde baphinde batye i-bell kabini, xa bangezelela ubuninzi beethusi ukuze benze i-brittle ibe yincinci baze bongeze isilivere ukuze bathabise itoni. Akukho mntu wayenelisekile, kodwa yafakwa kwinqaba yeNdlu kaRhulumente.
Ukususela ngo-1753 ukuya ku-1777, intsimbi, nangona i-crack yayo, yayidla ngokuyinhloko ukubiza iPennsylvania Assembly ukuba ilandele. Kodwa nge-1770s, intsimbi yebell yaqala ukubola kwaye abanye bacinga ukubetha insimbi ingabangela ukuba inqaba ityeke.
Ngaloo ndlela, mhlawumbi insimbi yayingekho nhlobo ukuvakalisa ukubhaliswa kweSibhengezo soBu-Independence, okanye ukubiza abantu ukuba bakuve ukufundwa kwayo kokuqala ngoJulayi 8, 1776. Sekunjalo, izikhulu zithathwa njengento eyaneleyo yokuhamba, kunye nezinye ezingama-22 ezinkulu ze-Philadelphia, kwi-Allentown ngoSeptemba 1777, ukuze amabutho aseBrithani ahlasele angayithathi.
Yabuyiselwa kwiNdlu kaRhulumente ngoJuni 1778.
Ngelixa lingaziwa ukuba yintoni eyabangela ukuqala kokuqhaqha kwiBell Liberty, mhlawumbi yonke into eyalandela yenze umonakalo omkhulu. NgoFebruwari 1846, i-repairmen yazama ukulungisa insimbi kunye nendlela yokuyeka ukukhanda, inqubo apho iindawo zokukhahlela zifakwe phantsi ukuze zikhusele ukuba zixubane kunye kwaye zidibaniswe nezikhankaso. Ngelishwa, kwindandatho elandelayo emva kokuzalwa kweWashington emva kwenyanga leyo, isiphelo esiphezulu sokuqhaqha sakhula kwaye izikhulu zagqitywa ukuba zingalokothi zibethe insimbi.
Ngaloo xesha, nangona kunjalo, yayisilindile ixesha elide ukwenzela ukufumana udumo. Ngenxa yobhaliso lwaso, ababhubhisi beziqalo baqala ukuyisebenzisa njengesimboli, okokuqala bawubiza ngokuba yiNkundla yokuBhenela kwi-Anti-Slavery Record phakathi ne-1830s. Ngowe-1838, uncwadi olusaneleyo wokubhubhisa abantu lwaye lwasasazwa ukuba abantu bayeka ukuyibiza ngeNdlu yeNdwendwe yeNdwendwe yeNdwendwe kwaye bakha i-Bell Liberty.
Endleleni
Emva kokuba engasetyenziswanga njengentsimbi yokusebenza, ingakumbi kwiminyaka emva kweMfazwe Yomphakathi, isikhundla seZiko leNkululeko yeNkululeko somelezwa. Kwaqala oko kwakukho ukulungelelanisa ukunyuka kweentlanga, ngokubanzi kwiiNdawo zeHlabathi zehlabathi kunye neziboniso ezifanayo zamazwe ngamazwe apho iUnited States ifuna ukubonisa izinto zayo ezilungileyo kunye nokubhiyozela ubunikazi bayo bobuzwe.
Uhambo lokuqala luye ngoJanuwari 1885, kwi-carcar ekhethiweyo, okwenza u-14 uyeke endleleni eya kwi-World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition eNew Orleans.
Emva koko, waya kwi-World's Columbian Exposition-okunye eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Chicago World Fair-ngo-1893, apho uJohn Philip Sousa wabhala "I-Bell Liberty Bell" kweso sihlandlo. Ngo-1895, i-Bell Liberty yenza i-40 bhiyozo yokumisa endleleni eya kwi-Cotton State kunye ne-International Exposition e-Atlanta, kwaye ngo-1903, yenza ukuba ama-49 ayeke ukuya e-Charlestown, eMassachusetts, kwi-128 ye-Battle of Bunker Hill.
Le ndlela yendlela yokuBala i-Liberty Bell ibonisa ukuqhubeka kude kube ngowe-1915, xa intsimbi ithatha uhambo olude kulo lonke ilizwe, kuqala ukuya ePanama-Pacific International Exposition e-San Francisco, kwaye emva koko, ekuwa, ukuya kwelinye ilungileyo eSan Diego.
Xa ibuyele eFiladelphia, yabuyiselwa ngaphakathi kwindlu yokuqala yokuHlala kwe-Independence enye iminyaka engama-60, ngeli xesha liye lafuduswa kuphela ngePhiladelphia ukukhuthaza ukuthengisa kweMfazwe yeMfazwe ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi I.
Inkululeko yokuVota
Kodwa, kwakhona, iqela lama-activist lalizimisele ukusebenzisa iBeller Bell njengesimboli sayo. Abafazi banelungelo lokuvota, balwela ilungelo lokuvota, bafaka iBell Liberty kwiiplanga kunye nezinye izinto zokubambisa ukukhuthaza umsebenzi wabo wokuvota eMelika ngokusemthethweni kwabasetyhini.
Akukho ndawo Njengekhaya
Emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi I, iBeller Bell yayimi ngokukodwa kwi-lobby Tower ye-Independence Hall, isiqhamo seendwendwe kwiindwendwe kwisakhiwo. Kodwa oomzi besixeko babenxungu lokuba ukubhiyozelwa kwe-bicentennial yeSibhengezo soBu-Independence ngo-1976 kwakuza kubangela uxinzelelo olungathandekiyo lwezihlwele kwiHolo lokuzimela kwaye, ngoko ke, i-Liberty Bell. Ukuze bahlangabezane nalo mngeni ozayo, banqwenela ukwakha inkundla yeglasi e-Bell kwiChestnut Street ukusuka kwiHolo lokuzimela. Ngomso wokugqithisa kakhulu kwangeyure yokuqala kaJanuwari 1, 1976, abasebenzi baxhamla iBell Liberty ngaphesheya kwesitrato, apho bekuye kwaxhomekeka kwaze kwaba yilapho kwakhiwa iCandelo leNkululeko eBelon ngo-2003.
Ngomhla ka-Oktobha 9, 2003, iNkululeko yeNkululeko yafudukela kwikhaya layo elitsha, isikhulu esiphezulu esinomboniso ochazayo ngokubaluleka kweBell ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Iwindow enkulu ivumela ukuba iindwendwe ziyibukele ngokubhekiselele kumva wekhaya lakudala, iHolo lokuzimela.
Ukutyelela ePhiladelphia yinhlangano engenzi nzuzo ezinikezele ekuveliseni ulwazi kunye nokuhanjelwa kwii-counties zika Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware kunye ne-Montgomery.
