The origin of Thanksgiving

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history, originating from the early immigrants in Plymouth, Massachusetts. These immigrants were called Puritans when they were in the UK. Because they were dissatisfied with the incomplete religious reform of the Church of England, as well as the political suppression and religious persecution of them by the King of England and the Church of England, these Puritans broke away from the Church of England and went to the Netherlands.

Later, he decided to move to the uninhabited land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, hoping to live religiously and freely according to his own wishes. In 1620, the "Mayflower" ship arrived in America with 102 Puritans who could not endure the religious persecution in England. In the winter between 1620 and 1621, the local Indians brought them daily necessities.
