It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the civil war that president Abraham Lincoln proclaimed
Thanksgiving a national day to be held in November. It all began in September 1620, a small
ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England with over 100 people, all seeking something
from this new lands.The uncomfortable crossing lasted 66 days when they finally dropped the
anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of the Hudson River, their intended destination.
After a month had passed they crossed Massachusetts Bay.
