Thanksgiving...AsiaKE09

We're living a lie! The Thanksgiving that we celebrate is NOT REAL! We're only going by what our ancestors went by. But are we sure to be celebrating "Thanksgiving" or "Fakesgiving"?

Thanksgiving was origianlly just a rejoicing celebration for the good harvest that year in 1621. There was four men sent out by the Governer to kill fowl for the feast. This was a 3-day long celebration in which Native Americans joined them for the feast. Then about 20 years later, William Bradford wrote about that feast but it was stolen by the British. So, he dould fully explain how Thanksgiving was celebrated until many years later. But for te Wampanog Indians, Thanksgiving was an everyday thing. But there were colonists that lived very difficult lives who celebrated Thanksgiving to give thanks and be grateful that they were alive. So was Thanksgiving the way it is today? Big dinners and being around family? Kind of, but not really. This was the real Thanksgiving.
