  • The Rough Writers
    The Rough Writers Newsletter December 22, 2016 Edition 1, Volume 2 History of Thanksgiving By Rouwaida Nitiema Thanksgiving is an American holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. It is celebrated today by many families as the day of togetherness. It is the day that everyone comes together around the table and enjoy a large family meal and being around the comfort of family: a day to express gratitude for all the positivity in one’s life. Now that we have fully comprehended the meaning of Thanksgiving, we can dive into the past to excavate why the American people celebrate Thanksgiving. Back in 1623, the pilgrims that settled in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts known as the Plymouth colonists, shared an autumn harvest feast with the Native American Tribe, the Wampanoag Indians. This feast was accompanied with proclamation of thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings and mercies toward us throughout the year. (Though originating with core ideals of religion, the holiday has moved to ideals of culture). During the first Thanksgiving, it was a celebration of survival. This was because of the rough history the colonist had when they first migrated to the new world. This tradition has been going on for almost two centuries. However, it was not until 1873 during the American Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving to be on every fourth Thursday in the month of November. This was done to keep the tradition of our founding fathers alive.
