Thanksgiving
102 pilgrims fled religious persecution in England and arrived on the Mayflower in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. They did not know how to survive in the new land and by winter's end, half of them had died from starvation and disease. The following year in 1621, the remaining pilgrims had their first successful corn harvest thanks to the help of the Native American Squanto. They held a three-day feast to celebrate with Squanto and the Wampanoag tribe, which is considered the first Thanksgiving.
