What is the history of Thanksgiving?
Contrary to popular belief, Thanksgiving is not just an American holiday. Canada, Liberia and some of the Caribbean islands also celebrate the holiday. In the USA, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, while in Canada it is usually on the second Monday of October. The Pilgrims and Puritans brought the holiday to America, when they emigrated from England in the 1620s. The holiday celebrates the harvest. The Pilgrims shared their good harvest with the native Americans, after they arrived, which is why the day is called Thanksgiving. President George Washington proclaimed it a national holiday in 1789.
