Hint; it had nothing to do with the pilgrims, indians, turkeys or football!!!

Lincoln declared it a national holiday during the Civil War.
For those who think it is a much older official holiday - http://www.classicallibrary.org/lincoln/thanksgiving.htm

Just go to the website "the holiday spot".com It explains all about the Thanksgiving traditions. Very interesting reading.

Well, it does have to do with pilgrims and Indians. The food supply was low, and winter was quickly approaching. Rather than see the new settlers starve, the Native Americans chose to share their crop of corn and their successful hunt of turkey with them. They gave thanks for the food, and we continue the tradition to this day. Your hint is misinformed, sorry.

Thaksgiving is the day that the pilgrems came to america, the indians taught them to grow crops, they had a feast and they gave 'thanks' so it is called thaksgiving day

Tht is written on the bible to always give thanks to God and to someone who cares for you. You should also thank your enemies .
