Freedom tower is 1776' because "1776" symbolizes America's year of The Declaration of Independece. so its a symbolic thing.
Plus, if they actually started vertical, they might get the Country's tallest title, as this tower is actually only around 1350 feet to the roof and the other 400 or so is the spire. Country's tallest until Chicago, once again, takes it from NY with the Chi-Spire, and that's if the guys at ground Zero starts to move their ass more rapidly. CS's site is moving pretty swifty and smoothly.
