A long time ago, in the mid-1600s, a gathering of individuals in England needed to supplicate and venerate God in their particular manner. The King controlled the Church of England, and everybody was requested to go to a similar sort of chapel. Any individual who set out to ignore would be sent to imprison.
The gathering of individuals who needed to free the Church of England from the King’s principle, making it “unadulterated” were known as the Puritans. To get away from the command of the King and his congregation, around 100 men, ladies and kids left their country, with their fantasy of religious flexibility. They cruised on a ship, the Mayflower—on a journey to the New World.
These overcome voyagers—the Pilgrims—arrived in Plymouth after their long six-week travel. It was December 11, 1620. The cool winter had set in. The land was unusual to them, and nothing appeared to be natural.
The winter was long, frosty, and hard for the Pilgrims. Fortunately, Native Americans assisted by providing them with seeds and nourishment, showing them about their new home, and giving them the abilities expected to make due in an exotic, new land.
The first year in their new home was hard for the Pilgrims. Numerous kicked the bucket. With seeds and plants from the Native Americans, the Pilgrims planted crops. The fall reap was a decent one. To commend their favorable luck, the Pilgrims had a Thanksgiving feast.
A wide variety of foods were cooked for the feast – wild turkey, duck, and venison were most likely served, alongside fish, pumpkins, squash, corn, sweet potatoes, and cranberries. Captain Miles Standish, the pioneer of the Pilgrims, welcomed the greater part of the Native Americans who had helped them the first year. The feast lasted three days. This feast in 1621 is regularly called the “First Thanksgiving.” Over the years, the day we now celebrate as Thanksgiving turned into an essential custom in the United States—a day of offering gratitude for all that we have. In 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt made Thanksgiving a national holiday.
