I believe we give thanks because the  indians saved the pilgrims asses from starving their ass off in the first freezing winter they arrived at Plimouth Rock (in the cold North East) by giving them food and showing the pilgrims crops that would grow locally (like corn) and local animals that could be hunted, (turkeys ?) to survive on through the winter.

 

Then they took the the indians land and introduced them to Jesus.  Now they are getting back at the white man by taking advantage of his own greed through casinos.  350 years later,  were even again.  :shrugani:

Acording to history, the pilgrams survived the first winter of 1620 (and jan+feb of

1621) on their own and didn't meet and befriend the wampanoag tribe of native americans until march of 1621. They learned from each other and in oct. celebrated what they then refered to as "An English Harvest Celebration". The rest of what you said was right on :D .

NATIONAL Thanksgiving wasn't celebrated until 1777 (when it was declared by the Continental Congress). But that still wasn't Thanksgiving as we know it today.

Thanksgiving as we know it today was called for by abraham lincoln in 1863 when the first of our last-Thursday-in-November annual Thanksgivings was celebrated.

 

Oh, and I will be having gruel at the shelter. God bless Rev. Larry Rice. Amen.
