What is the bloody history behind Thanksgiving?

The bloody history behind Thanksgiving:

In the early 17th century, the Puritans in England were persecuted. In September 1620, 102 Puritans boarded the sailing ship "Mayflower" and arrived at Plymouth Port in the United States on December 26, ready to start a new life. However, these immigrants did not adapt to the local environment at all. After the first winter, only 50 people survived.

It was cold winter, they came to a strange place, they were short of food and clothing, and the harsh environment was threatening their lives. At this critical moment, the local Indians sent them food, daily necessities and production tools, taught them how to farm the land, and helped them build their new home.

In the autumn of this year, the immigrants had a big harvest. At the end of November, the immigrants invited the Indians to enjoy delicacies made of corn, pumpkins, turkeys, etc., thanking them for their help, thank you God gave a great harvest. Since then, Thanksgiving has become a fixed holiday in the United States.
