    Until recently the history of America’s first Thanksgiving was a cute animated cartoon in my mind. While little is known about the occurrence‚ the little we do know tells a tale of betrayal and misjudgment. The issues facing the pilgrims and the Wampanogs were primarily different cultural practices‚ language barriers‚ and religious bigotry.

    enough to have. The Pilgrims are credited with organizing the first Thanksgiving after they arrived in America. It was a celebration of a bountiful harvest. Both the early and modern Thanksgiving centered around a feast consisting of a variety of foods. There are few other similarities to discuss aside from these.

    Book Report: The Mayflower The voyage of the Mayflower is one we have known since childhood. The pilgrims sailed over and became friends with the Native Americans‚ who taught them the ways of the land while they feasted over a large Thanksgiving dinner and discovered America. Well Nathaniel Philbrick tells this story in a slightly different way than we have grown to know it‚ and for some reason his version seems to make much more sense. This novel takes you on a journey with the original settlers
