Pilgrims hosted the first Thanksgiving

We have learned in school that the first Thanksgiving was held in 1621 and was started by the Pilgrims. But the truth is, some documents prove that feasts for giving thanks have been done before that. In fact, the Spaniards in Florida did the same thing in 1565.

Thanksgiving was not even a national holiday until Abraham Lincoln made it so in 1863. There was also a time when President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving to the third Thursday of November but eventually they turned it back to the last Thursday of November.
