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. This harvest celebration tradition grew into a national holiday designated by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 to be celebrated on the last Thursday of November each year.
Thanksgiving
The document summarizes the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday celebrated in America. It describes how in 1620, 102 passengers aboard the Mayflower traveled from Europe to start a new life in America. After a difficult journey, they arrived in December and many died from disease over the winter. In the spring, the remaining settlers were helped by native Americans who taught them farming techniques for crops like turkey, squash and potatoes. After their first successful harvest, the settlers and native Americans held a celebration that included a huge feast, which has inspired the modern American Thanksgiving tradition of cooking the same foods.
