Answer:

This incident was symbolic because it showed that Americans were ready to be independent and free from tyrannical rule, but also by pulling down a statue of the King, it was a symbolic gesture to make historic change from the rule of a monarchy to the rule of a democracy.

Six years after the monument's installation, in July 1776, patriots rebelling against what they viewed as a symbol of British oppression tore down George's likeness.
