The Pilgrims arrived in America from England in the early 1600s to flee religious persecution and practice their religion freely. They had a very difficult first year, with many colonists dying from disease and lack of food. In their second year, the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow corn. To celebrate the harvest, the Pilgrims and Native Americans had a Thanksgiving feast together to give thanks for the food. Today, Thanksgiving celebrations include turkey, stuffing, pie, and other traditional American foods.
