**Thanksgiving's Long History: From Pilgrims to a National Holiday**
Thanksgiving, one of America’s most treasured holidays, has its roots in the Pilgrims’ 1621 harvest feast. However, the modern holiday was solidified much later, thanks to President Abraham Lincoln’s proclamation during the Civil War. Lincoln called for a national day of thanks to promote unity during one of the country’s most divisive times.
The holiday has since evolved to include parades, football, and a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. But the core tradition of gratitude and family gatherings remains unchanged. As we celebrate today, it’s a good time to reflect on the values that bring us together as Americans.
