The real truth about the first Thanksgiving is that it was never a feast between Pilgrims or Indians celebrating friendship. It was actually started in the year of 1637 and the Pilgrims were feasting and celebrating the victory of a 700 Indian massacre that the Pigrim men returned back to the settlement. What you may have learned was a misconception of coarse.

Wow, Nadine. Not really the kind of comment that is needed in this forum.

Nadine, before you set out to instruct us, you should be more certain of your facts. There may well have been a feast in 1637 after an indian massacre but it wasn’t the original feast that Thanksgiving is commemorating. Do your own research without such a jaundiced eye toward “the white man” or such a predilection toward painting the indians as all victims.

The Pilgrims kept peace with the Native Americans for over 50 years. I have never heard of a massacre. Also all the writings of the Pilgrims give God the glory and thanks for leading them to America and for His protection during those eary years. We love to celebrate Thanksgiving and the bravery of the Puritin who valued living for God more then earthly things. May we all learn from them and truly worship God.

Oh I’m sorry. That was the part they didn’t tell you.
I just posted it so some people would learn. Looks like two people now know.
I am sorry if I offended anyone however.

Nadine - notice this site is titled “hillbillyhousewife”…probably not a place to spread enlightenment.
