Thanksgiving Day (USA)

The Thanksgiving Day was introduced in 1789 on the recommendation of President George Washington and the approval of the Congress. Later, in 1941, President Roosevelt signed a law that officially establishes Thanksgiving as a holiday celebrating Thursday the fourth Thursday in November.

The Thanksgiving Day has drawn its roots since the first English immigrants, and celebrates the community of different cultures. This holiday was accepted by everyone no matter where they came from when they arrived in America. It is celebrated with a roasted turkey and plenty of food. Upon arrival in the new world, after 66 days of difficult travel, English settlers agreed to immediately establish equality among themselves and accept the common name Pilgrims – pilgrims.In the port that they named Plymouth, in the state of Massachusetts, the first enthusiasm and happiness were soon encountered by difficulties in obtaining food. They were saved by local Indians, who provided them with food and learned how to grow corn and other vegetables.When the pilgrims were raising enough to survive the coming winter, the pilgrims celebrated it with the Indians, and on the table, among other things, there was a wild turkey.
