History

Throughout much of the early European history in the New World, Columbia was the female personification of North, Central, and South America. Like female figures of Africa, she was often depicted with minimal clothing and feathered or other tribal dress and apparel. Over time, she became directly associated with the Thirteen Colonies and, later, the United States of America. She was eventually replaced in American hearts and minds by Liberty following World War I.
