Did The Pilgrim Celebrate Thanksgiving

174 Words1 Page

“Thanksgiving Myths” Two myths are “The Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving every year”, “The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast”. The truth in these myths are that the Pilgrims did celebrate thanksgiving. That the Pilgrims came to America to for land and for the thanksgiving part. I think people believe this. Because people think that something needs to happen more than once to catch on for many years. Another part of this myth is that people thanksgiving began because that the pilgrims wanted to be friends with them but actually they needed help from the Native Americans to survive. The truth about the Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast was actually not correct they actually bright corn and not

    Just because Europe did not know that America existed before Columbus’s arrival does not mean that they were the first to find it. If anyone should be praised for the discovery and have a holiday celebrating them, it should be the Native Americans. Columbus also discovered America because of his own mistake, not because he was a courageous adventurer set on finding new land. He made many mistakes throughout his career and was too arrogant to say he was wrong. This is still seen today by the derogatory name for Native Americans, “indians”, because Columbus did not want to believe that he was not in East Asia, so he called the people indians even though they were obviously not Asian.

    However, is that really true? Safran Foer explains that turkey wasn’t part of Thanksgiving festivities “until the nineteenth century”, as well as other foods associated with the holiday, such as cranberries and corn (250). No one can’t say that they’re eating turkey because of tradition if it wasn’t eaten until two centuries after Thanksgiving. If Americans want to use this reasoning, they should be eating bean soup, which is believed to be served at the actual first Thanksgiving in the late 1500s (Safran Foer 250). Furthermore, even if turkeys were eaten at the first Thanksgiving, despite not becoming a tradition for 200 years, the turkeys eaten then were nothing like the turkeys we eat now.
