What Really Happened During the First Thanksgiving

Winslow's explanation about the first Thanksgiving is conveying a happy moment when pilgrims eat Indians and hunt. As I mentioned in his explanation, there are lots of food, but there is no harshness in the previous year. He paid special attention to the existence of Indian leader Massasoit. And it was hosted by his pilgrims for three days with his 90 or more men. William Bradford was the first witness to be a Thanksgiving, governor of the Plymouth colony.

But what is Thanksgiving? This is mainly a fictional holiday, a loosely recorded historical event from the Mayflower pilgrim. Several people insisted on whether the "first Thanksgiving" had ever happened. Like Santa Claus and Easter Bunny, the deadly meal between pilgrims and Native Americans has become an ideal symbol. Ideally, we should accept it more often, and if so, Thanksgiving story reflects good possibilities. The heart of Thanksgiving is gratitude, even if things are the lowest. Because the American civil war was raging, people remembered that it became a federal holiday in 1863 and colonialists have been plagued by death and famine never seen before.

However, according to National Geographic magazine, Thanksgiving story version is based on mythology. According to the National Geographic magazine, the history of the first Thanksgiving day is rare, as Americans know, so that Thanksgiving was called the national holiday in the first 300 years later, in 1863 Abraham President Lincoln "Thanksgiving" was officially announced during the civil war. The historian's understanding of the events surrounding real Thanksgiving is inconsistent with the story they heard about when they were young. The story of a pilgrim who shares a celebration meal with a Native American neighbor reflects the revisionist version of history hiding the truth behind reality many years ago - may be a little tough The fact that you need to hear it

By the middle of the 19th century, many states observed Thanksgiving holidays. At the same time, poet and editor Sarah J. Hale began lobbying for National Thanksgiving holidays. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln sought the way of the United Nations and discussed this issue with Hale. In 1863, he announced the last Thursday of November as a Thanksgiving declaration. In 1939, 1940 and 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to extend the Christmas shopping season, and announced Thanksgiving on the third Thursday in November. The Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 and announced that Thanksgiving should be held on the fourth Thursday of November.
