The first Thanksgiving: not exactly what you think
Thanksgiving is, for all intents and purposes, a belated harvest festival. Before Americans adopted the tradition, American Indians, Europeans, and many other cultures celebrated the harvest season with feasts and offerings to their gods as thanks for their survival. Some still do.
It’s generally believed that the feast at Plymouth Colony was the first Thanksgiving here in North America. But the first feast between arriving foreigners and Natives took place in 1541, when Francisco de Coronado and his expedition broke bread with the natives at Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas panhandle. Some historians say that a similar feast held in Florida was the first, with French Huguenots celebrating on June 30th of 1564. Others point to Jamestown colony in 1609 and Roanoke in 1586. Then again, maybe it was Ponce de Leon in 1513 near what is now St. Petersburg, Florida. Any way you carve it, the Pilgrims weren’t the first.
The Plymouth feast lasted three days, with Pilgrims and American Indians both contributing to the meal. But turkey wasn’t on the menu. According to the narrative of colonist Edward Winslow “wild fowl” was served. It was never specified which fowl he meant. It could also have been duck or geese. What we do know is that venison, shellfish and lobster were served, along with nuts, wheat flour, pumpkins, squashes, carrots, and peas.
The Pilgrims didn’t wear the clothes in which they are pictured nowadays. Buckles were too expensive: buttons and laces would have held their clothing together. In the 19th century, illustrators searched for a costume to use in drawings for the holiday. They settled on a style of clothing that was popular among the fashionable in 17th century England.
can we believe anything written of the history of America seems nowadays so many things have been rebutted some just outright lies and all about the White figures in history it's still done today, looking at Reagan he was their hero until they found out he compromised raised taxes and did a whole host of things they now vilify, and we very seldom hear his name any more.
funny they didn't know their own history, could be be cause those who re-write omit those things not flattering about the forefathers, how moral can a man be when he seeks to own another? they denied truth to others not like them having them grow up thinking White people were all that and a bag of chips, it is an unchristian thing to do and now the future will forever know the truth.
all the things they invented or did they?
