The History and Significance of Thanksgiving in the United States

Info

Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, became a national holiday in the United States in 1863, thanks to President Abraham Lincoln.

He proclaimed it a day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," amidst the Civil War, aiming to unite a fractured nation.

The origins of Thanksgiving trace back to early 17th-century harvest feasts shared by Pilgrims and Native Americans, symbolizing cooperation and gratitude.

Today, this holiday holds deep cultural significance, emphasizing family, community, and reflection.

🍂🦃❤️ It also serves as a reminder of the complex history between settlers and Indigenous peoples.

As we gather to celebrate, let's honor this rich heritage. - https://holidaydecortips.com/themes/thanksgiving-national-holiday-history/?unique_id_laxtrdtm
