Thanksgiving Day
During the 1700 century people from England to start
a new life. The Plymouth colonist and the Wampanoag Indians had works together
to destroy a different village that was bothering the Wampanoag villagers. In September
of 1620 the Mayflower a ship from England carried about 102 passengers on the
voyage to the Colonies. These people were looking for a place where they could
practice free religion. This voyage lasted 66 days. When the mayflower arrived
at the colonies most passengers had died or been recorded ill. Most of them
stayed in the ship because of the harsh winter they had encountered. Time will have
passed and the survivors from the first winter had seen their first spring in
the new world. After this the pilgrims had tried to adjust to their new lives.
These met the tribe Wampanoag and they helped the pilgrim learn how to grow
crops. After the pilgrims will had grown a successful crop of corn and a man
named William Bradford organized a celebration for the crop. He invited the
Wampanoag tribe and together they celebrated, this happened in 1621. Years
would have passed since the first thanksgiving and Presidents from the US had
also celebrated this. Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill making Thanksgiving
Day an official Holiday.
