The origin of thanksgiving

This can be traced back to the early days of American history. 162 1 year, Puritans settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They had a hard time living through the first winter because of the cold and illness. With the help of Indians, they learned to hunt and plant, and they got a bumper harvest. In order to celebrate this harvest season, they held a Thanksgiving celebration.

1623, in order to help more immigrants, the Puritans decided to apply to the British royal family to hold a national Thanksgiving celebration. The British royal family agreed to their request and declared Thanksgiving a public holiday.

194 1 year, the US Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday in June 1 1 as "Thanksgiving Day". Now, Thanksgiving Day has become an important family holiday. People get together, have dinner and watch sports games.
