The Eagle Times: Thanksgiving

 

November 16, 2017

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States, Canada, some of the Caribbean Islands, and Liberia.

In 1621, Thanksgiving came to be when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared a fall harvest feast, which lasted three days. Thanksgiving is not just about eating turkey and getting fat; it is about celebrating the United States and giving back.
