Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday that first began to be observed after the first harvest in the new world. The pilgrims went to the New World to practice their religions freely. They went all the way to what is now Massachusetts and settled in Plymouth. About have of the people on board of the Mayflower died before spring due to the outbreak of disease and the harsh weather. Later on these pilgrims were visited by the Native Americans, specifically Squanto who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery by the English. Squanto taught the pilgrims how to grow things and how to fish. With his help the pilgrims formed alliances with other Native Americans. After the first harvest the governor organized a feast. . Thanksgiving was celebrated in certain colonies and states for a two centuries before officially becoming a holiday by Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War.
