    Thanksgiving commemorates the harvest feast shared between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians in 1621. Struggling after their arrival in Plymouth, many Pilgrims perished until the Wampanoag taught them how to farm native crops and find food in the new land. In gratitude for their bountiful first harvest, the settlers and Wampanoag hosted a celebration and expressed thanks to God for their blessings. Though the precise menu is unknown, it included foods donated by both groups like turkey, deer, and local vegetables and fruits.

    THANKSGIVING

    Día De Acción De Gracias

    What does thanksgiving mean?


    Thanksgiving is a time for gatherings with family or
    friends, and a time when Americans express their
    gratitude for the freedom they enjoy, as well as for food,
    homes, and so many other things.

    History
    The Pilgrims had arrived in the United States in 1620, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to separate from the Church of
    England, which was the official church, and to be able to freely practice their particular form of Puritanism. Having
    arrived late in the Plymouth Colony to cultivate the land, and lacking fresh food, the Pilgrims suffered a terrible
    winter between 1620 and 1621. Half of the colony perished from disease. The following spring, the Wampanoag
    Indians taught settlers how to harvest corn and other native crops, and also taught the newcomers how to fish and
    hunt. The Wampanoag Indians had an advanced society that had settled in the region for thousands of years,
    according to the National Museum of the American Indian.

    In the fall of 1621, the pilgrims had much to be thankful for given the bountiful harvest of corn, barley, beans, and
    squash. The settlers and their Wampanoag benefactors, who brought deer meat to roast, hosted a banquet to
    express their gratitude for the blessings they received from God. Although it is known that the colonists provided
    poultry for the celebration, the rest of the menu remains a mystery. The pilgrims possibly brought turkey, ducks and
    other game, shellfish, such as mussels, lobster and eels, as well as vegetables, grapes, plums and nuts.

    Date
    In 1789, when George Washington was
    appointed the first president of the United
    States, he chose November 26 as the
    official day of Thanksgiving, but in 1863
    Lincoln established November 23 as the
    definitive official date.
