Talk about it
Do you have anything to give thanks for Share it with your classmates.
The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in what later became known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in America were difficult, too. About 100 Pilgrims landed just as autumn was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them died.
When spring came, the Pilgrims began to plant crops. A native American Indian named Squanto helped them. When summer ended, the Pilgrims had a good harvest.
The Pilgrims decided to hold a celebration to give thanks for their harvest. Pilgrim leader William Bradford set a date and invited members of a nearby Indian tribe to take part. The feast lasted 3 days.
The creation of a national Thanksgiving holiday resulted from the efforts of one woman, Sarah Josepha Hale. In the 1820s, she began a campaign to officially establish the holiday. Finally, in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November as a national holiday of Thanksgiving. Later, Congress declared that the holiday would be celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday in November.
