Thanksgiving Day

History

Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude for the harvest and the year. Many Americans trace it to the harvest feast of 1621, shared by the Pilgrims of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving in 1863, and in 1941 Congress set it on the fourth Thursday of November. Families gather for a large meal, often with turkey.
