The origin of thanksgiving

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history. 1620, the famous "Mayflower" arrived in America with 102 pilgrims who could not bear the persecution of English religion. In the winter at the turn of 1620 and 162 1, they encountered unimaginable difficulties and were hungry and cold. After winter, only 50 immigrants survived. Based on the belief and custom of "visitors are guests", Indians sent these immigrants necessities of life and taught them how to survive by hunting, fishing and planting corn and pumpkins.

With the help of Indians, new immigrants from Europe gradually got used to the local lifestyle. On the day of celebrating the harvest, new immigrants from Europe invited Indians to thank God together. In the well-known version of Thanksgiving at present, only the friendly relations between the two sides and the happy and festive atmosphere are often emphasized; However, many people point out that it is unfair to Indians to emphasize the happiness and friendliness of Thanksgiving. Because it makes people tend to forget the history of exploitation and slaughter of Indians later.

Many people think that the first Thanksgiving in America is the first time that Indians and new immigrants get together to thank God. However, for many Indians, this is not the first time people have gathered to thank God for their experience. For some Indians in New England, Thanksgiving Day has been around for a long time. These Indians hold Thanksgiving six times a year, and they hold Thanksgiving ceremonies according to different seasons. The Thanksgiving ceremony held in the autumn harvest season is the fifth Thanksgiving of these Indians in a year. Generally called "the origin of Thanksgiving", it is actually the first time that European immigrants and Indians thank God, not the so-called "the first Thanksgiving in America".

The Thanksgiving Day celebrated by the first European immigrants and Indians lasted for three days, and the two sides also reached a peaceful and friendly agreement: Indians welcomed them to build their own villages on one of the original Indian lands. This moment was originally the beginning of the gradual consolidation of friendship between the two sides, but unfortunately the friendly relationship did not last long. Because they don't need Indian assistance as before, some new immigrants gradually forget their initial difficulties and help; Coupled with the continuous influx of more new immigrants, the distrust between the two sides has gradually increased and there have been more and more frictions; Some new immigrants don't even tolerate the religious beliefs of Indians, trying to teach and convince Indians that their beliefs are incorrect. Many frictions and conflicts led to the later "Philip War".
