History of Thanksgiving
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. The Pilgrims were a group of English settlers who had come to America in search of religious freedom. They had a difficult first year in America, and many of them died. But the Pilgrims were grateful for the help of the Wampanoag Indians, who taught them how to survive in the new land.
In 1621, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians celebrated a three-day feast to give thanks for the harvest. This feast is considered to be the first Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln declared it a day of thanksgiving and praise to God. Thanksgiving is now celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
