Thanksgiving Days!

The First Thanksgiving
The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621,to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaim a day of thanksgiving.The colonies celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.
Days of thanksgiving celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests. All thirteen colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789.
A New National Holiday:
By the mid-1800, many state observed a Thanksgiving holiday. Meanwhile the poet and editor Sarah J. Hale had begun lobbying for a national thanksgiving holiday.
During the civil war, President Abraham Lincoln, looking for way to unite the nation, discussed the subject with Hale. In 1863 he gave his Thanksgiving Proclamation declaring the last Thursday in November a day of thanksgiving.
In 1939, 1940 and 1941 Frankline D. Roosevelt seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday on November, where it remains.
