Why Is It Called Thanksgiving?

Blessing of the harvest. It started as a day when people used the opportunity to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest for the previous year.
In the United States, the celebration is usually recognized as an event when English colonizers held a celebration to thank American Indians for helping them start a new life in the United States.
“First Thanksgiving” was celebrated after their first harvest in October 1621. The celebration lasted for three days.
Five letters to five American presidents. After a long campaign, Sarah Joseph Hale, editors of Godey’s Lady Book – a women’s magazine – is credited with making Thanksgiving a national holiday in the United States.
In support of the proposed national holiday, Hale wrote letters to five U.S. presidents. A letter she wrote to Lincoln convinced him to support the laws establishing Thanksgiving 1863.
“You may have noticed that a few years back there is an increased interest in our country that Thanksgiving is celebrated on the same day in all states; now he needs national recognition and authoritative fixation to become a permanent, American custom and institution, ”she wrote.
Before Thanksgiving, the only national holidays celebrated in the U.S. were George Washington’s birthday and Independence Day.
National Day of Mourning. From the perspective of many Native Americans, this holiday symbolizes centuries of land appropriation and the decline of tribal cultures.
The protest group United American Indians of New England accuses American and European immigrants of inventing the story of Thanksgiving and has been organizing a National Day of Mourning on that day since 1970.

Why Is It Celebrated With A Turkey?

Hamilton’s party. Eating a Thanksgiving party precedes Lincoln’s nationalization of the holiday in 1863. In the 19th century, Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States, declared that no “US citizen should refrain from a Thanksgiving party.”
Some credit is attributed to Halle, whose stories emphasized the roasted turkey and over time became a model for the festivities.
Others believe that these birds were chosen because they are large enough to feed many people and do not serve another purpose, such as laying eggs or giving milk.
More than 50 million turkeys are served in the U.S. each year for Thanksgiving.
Back in at least 1947, American presidents were given Thanksgiving parties. Turkeys were usually eaten at those parties.
The tradition of pardon. Ronald Reagan was the first president to “pardon” a party in 1987. His successor, George Bush Sr., made the pardon ceremony a White House tradition from 1989 onwards.
