Pilgrims were the first European settlers in North America. They were religious England people who tried to separate the church from England. They protested about Church of England, so they suffered persecutions and decided to go to Holland.
For this travel they use a ship called Mayflower, it was the first ship used by Pilgrims. They traveled through the ocean were the Mayflower cloud easily suffer a lot of damages.
Many people were seasick on this ship, but just one person died. Also, one person was born during the journey as well.
After two months at sea English people arrived at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620.
Wampanoag is a nation of people who are still alive, they are described as Indians and helped pilgrims during the first winter.
After Pilgrims landed on Massachusetts, they did not have time to plant food for the winter, for that reason the first winter was very hard for the new settlers. The weather destroyed their settlement and only about half survived the first winter.
One Indian named Samoset tried to help pilgrims during this hard time, they had difficulties with communication, so Samoset returned with an English speaking Indian called Squanto.
Because of Squanto's help, the Pilgrims had a very successful harvest in October and had plenty of food for the upcoming winter. The Pilgrim's Governor William Bradford proclaimed the celebration one day in the middle of november.
After everything has passed, in 1863 the President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the fourth thursday in November the official day to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Now this event is celebrating one day per year in USA and Canada.
