In 1621,  the first year in America  was hard but the Pilgrim's  first autumn  harvest  was  very  plentiful.
They were at peace with the Native American Indians. Their Governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and the colonists shared food with the Indians.

    During the American Revolution (late 1770's) the Congress suggested a day of national thanksgiving. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom.  In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday of each November).
