Yesterday
I posted on the significance of the 1620 Pilgrims landing at
Plymouth Rock leading to Thanksgiving and Religious Liberty. Today you will
find the story of how that Pilgrim’s Thanksgiving became a national holiday for
the United States of America – thanks to PragerU.

The very first Thanksgiving happened almost 400 years
ago—long before the nation was born. How did it evolve into America’s
quintessential national holiday? Credit largely goes to two people—one, a name
you know; the other, you’ve probably never heard—but should. Melanie
Kirkpatrick, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, gives us the run-down on
how a harvest party between Pilgrims and Indians became our oldest national
tradition.
