Happy Thanksgiving – A historical background
In November 1621, British colonies and Native Americans shared harvest feasts in autumn. From this day, it became a tradition, and people started celebrating this day as the thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. The second time, pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving Day at the end of a long drought that had threatened the year’s harvest and prompted the current Governor to call for a religious fast. As an influence, new England settlements started fasting and celebrating Thanksgiving Day annually or occasionally.
In this way, the people of independent states and colonies have been celebrating thanksgiving for more than two centuries. Later, the United State’s President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday that will have been held on the last Thursday of every year’s November. But Franklin D Roosevelt passed a bill for celebrating this day as Franksgiving Day during the Great Depression as his successful attempt to spur retail sales. Opposition members rejected this bill and announced that the American Nation will celebrate Thanksgiving Day every Fourth Thursday of November from today.
Like this, every US President celebrates Thanksgiving Day as a National Holiday every year. Citizens decorate their residential and commercial buildings, make traditional dishes, and wear beautiful outfits.
“Be thankful for everything that happens in your life. It’s all an experience.”
