What is thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is traditionally seen as a time of feast after the harvest when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans came together for the first time. However, in today's traditional times, it is a celebration of the harvest although the feast that many families celebrate is quickly becoming overshadowed by the beginning of the Christmas season.

It is a Holiday celebrated by most Americans but hated by Native Americans. For White and Black Americans its a celebration to eat Pumpkin and turkey. For Native Americans its anniversary of the massacre of their people.

It was one of the first meals/celebrations of peace between the native Americans (people who lived in america) and the settlers (undocumented immigrants that came to America ). There was a lot of conflict, deaths, spreading of diseases, wars, etc. So this 3 day celebration was a huge white flag to try and bring a level of peace to all the people living at that time period.
