The commotion created was such that many citizens laid flowers at the place where the great rock formation fell, politicians rushed to ask that the profile be included in symbols of the State such as the flag, citizens asked that the rock be reconstructed using materials more resistant, request that was rejected after a study of the place.
Currently there are observatories in the area from where you can virtually view the original figure.
The motto "Live free or die", is perhaps the most famous motto of the country, comes from a letter written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809, to decline the invitation for the commemoration of the Battle of Bennington.
The response to the invitation was:
“Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils”
