During the American Revolutionary War, The Continental Congress Appointed each year one or more days of Thanksgiving, each time recommending to the leaders of the various states the observance of these days in their states. The first national proclamation of Thanksgiving Was given by the Continental Congress in 1777

As President, on October 3, 1789, George Washington made the following proclamation and created the first Thanksgiving Day Decreed by the national Government of the United States of America:

A proclamation of the President of the United States of America.
Considering that it is the duty of all Nations to recognize the providence of God Almighty, to obey his will, to be thankful for his blessings, and humbly implore his protection and his favor

In 1620, a hundred English dissidentsAppointed Pilgrim Fathers, land from the Mayflower In Plymouth Bay at Massachusetts. They base the Plymouth Colony and the Namesake city. But the beginnings of colonization were difficult and half of the arrivals perished

The survivors only last their salvation to the intervention of two natives named Squanto And Samoset Who, with the help of their tribe, Wampanoag, offered them food, then taught them to fish, hunt and grow Corn.

In order to celebrate the first harvest, in the fall 1621, the Governor William Bradford Decreed three days ofThanksgiving. The settlers then invited the Chief of the Wampanoag, Massasoit, and 91 of his men to come and share their meal as a thank you for their help. During this feast, Turkeys and pigeons were offered5,6.

The Pilgrim Fathers held an even greater celebration of Thanksgiving in 1623, after a transition from communal agriculture to privatized agriculture and after a larger harvest through unexpected rain.
