Whats the "Real Story of Thanksgiving"?

  • an extra credit thing...and someone already told me I was wrong about the story anyways lol. so I need a lil help

  • Answer:

    Algonquins came down from Canada on their traditional hunting trip of early winter. They could not believe all the food at the warm oceanfront of Plimoth and started making a camp with the bonfire got really large. As they cooked and packed the ancient recipe of smoking foods, the shy pilgrims asked to be shown how to store food. The trip was made over to a 4 day instructional visit. Through those days the indians asked if they would keep turkeys in a farm for eggs, and smoking. The first sharing of knowledge and cooking together did then become a traditional visit for many holiday hunts, helping the pilgrims to survive and learn the native customs. This went on to the pilgrims sending home recipes and writing early books.

religious outcasts struggle in the new wilderness, turn to the aloof algonquin indians for help -- they learn to harvest maize and cultivate fruit trees and hunt turkey and deer. puritans have an annual feast and reluctantly invite (ie: placate) the natives, who find the white skins to be dirty, smelly and generally unpleasant. this tolerance is short lived, though the tradition of thanksgiving lives on

In 1621, after a hard and devastating first year in the New World the Pilgrim's fall harvest was very successful and plentiful. There was corn, fruits, vegetables, along with fish which was packed in salt, and meat that was smoke cured over fires. They found they had enough food to put away for the winter. The Pilgrims had beaten the odds. They built homes in the wilderness, they raised enough crops to keep them alive during the long coming winter, and they were at peace with their Indian neighbors. Their Governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving that was to be shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native American Indians. The custom of an annually celebrated thanksgiving, held after the harvest, continued through the years. During the American Revolution (late 1770's) a day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom. By the middle of the 19th century many other states also celebrated a Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving. Since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, usually designating the fourth Thursday of each November as the holiday.
