Detailed Solution

The red Phrygian cap of Germania signifies the Freedom of an enslaved person. Artists and revolutionaries employed a variety of symbols to represent abstract ideas during the 18th and 19th centuries. These symbols were typically well-known images from daily life that the uninformed masses could quickly relate to. French artists employed the feminine allegory to portray France in the nineteenth century. She was named Marianne and represented reason, liberty, and republican principles. Again a woman named Germania served as the nation's metaphor in Germany. A broken chain stood for the end of slavery. A fasces or a bundle of rods with an axe in the centre was employed to represent strength in unity. The red Phrygian cap represented an enslaved person's emancipation. It had another name, the liberty cap.
