Thanksgiving was a day when Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast in 1961, which today is known as the first Thanksgiving celebrations. In England thanksgiving was more of a religious event where puritans would pray, fast, and give thanks to god.  In 1777 the congress declared that all the 13 colonies celebrate a national day of thanksgiving every year in celebration of the victory towards the British. In 1863 president Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November national thanksgiving day. Thanksgiving brings loved ones together.
