How did the liberty bell crack?

Question

I need imformation on the liborty bell fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

During the 19th century, the bell tolled at the death of Alexander Hamilton (1804), Lafayette's return to Philadelphia (1824), the deaths of Adams and Jefferson (1826), Washington's 100th birthday celebration (1832) and the deaths of Lafayette (1834), John Marshall (1835) and William Henry Harrison (1841).[4]

In 1839, William Lloyd Garrison's anti-slavery publication The Liberator reprinted a Boston abolitionist pamphlet containing a poem about the Bell, entitled, "The Liberty Bell," which represents the first known usage (in print) of the name, "Liberty Bell." [4]

It is not certain when the second crack appeared (the first after the recastings), but the bell was repaired in February 1846. The method of repair, known as stop drilling, required drilling along the hairline crack so that the sides of the fracture would not reverberate.

On February 22, 1846, the bell was tolled for several hours in the tower of Independence Hall in honor of George Washington's birthday.[5] When the bell was rung, the crack grew from the top of the repaired crack to the crown of the bell, rendering the bell unusable. Contrary to popular belief, the large crevice that currently exists in the Liberty Bell is a repair from the expansions, and not the crack itself.

Answer 2

This is a debated subject. The original Bell received by the Whitechapel Foundry in 1752 cracked upon its very first strike. But, when the Liberty Bell, as we know it today, cracked is a much debated question...and a story with many renditions! There is no document that definitely dates when the Liberty Bell cracked, however, we do know that it cracked sometime between 1817 and 1846. Some facts and legends: A) One of the earliest dates of the Liberty Bell's cracking was reported in September 1824 during the visit of the Marquis de Lafayette to Philadelphia. The newspaper accounts of this visit do not mention the ringing of the State House Bell which would have occurred to announce the arrival of the guest to the city. B) Others claimed the Bell cracked while sounding for a fire during the winter of 1824-1825; however, this cannot be verified by contemporary newspaper articles. C) In 1828, there was much discussion by the Philadelphia City Councils of the new clock bell and steeple in the Old State House (Independence Hall). None of the documents from these meetings indicated that the Liberty Bell was damaged or unusable. D) The Liberty Bell was rung to announce the news of the passage of the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1828 in Great Britain. John Sartain in his book, Reminiscences of a Very Old Man, claims the Bell was cracked during this announcement: "The final passage of the Emancipation Act by the British Parliament is linked to a bit of Philadelphia history. On receipt of the news in Philadelphia the Liberty Bell in the tower of the State House was rung, and cracked in the ringing. When I was up in the tower in 1830, two years after, viewing the cracked bell for the first time, Downing, who was then the custodian of Independence Hall, told me of it and remarked that the bell refused to ring for a British Act, even when the Act was a good one."
