A Short History of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving traces its roots back to 1621, when the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony shared a three-day feast with the Wampanoag Native Americans to celebrate a successful harvest. This event is often considered the “First Thanksgiving,” though it wasn’t called that at the time. The tradition of giving thanks continued in various forms throughout the colonies.
In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday to be celebrated each November, hoping to unify the country. Since then, it has become a cherished American tradition centered around gratitude, food, family, and community.
