Overview

Thanksgiving, as observed in the United States of America, is a nationally recognized holiday to celebrate the harvest in the United States. The celebration is traditionally held with an abundance of autumnal foods, such as pumpkin- and corn-based dishes, and a roast turkey as the main course.

Background

Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States date back as far 1621 when the the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts commemorated the harvest in a meal with the Wampanoag tripe of Indigenous Americans.[1] The first National Thanksgiving Proclomation in the United States was made on October 3rd, 1789 by United States President George Washington. The proclamation declared November 26th the day of Thanksgiving. The text reads:[2]

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.
