The document discusses the history and modern celebration of Thanksgiving Day in America. It describes how the Pilgrims fled England due to religious persecution by King James, traveled to North America, and had a harvest feast in 1621 with the Wampanoag Indians to celebrate their first successful crops, establishing an early Thanksgiving tradition. Now, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November each year by gathering with family, eating a meal of turkey, squash, carrots, bread and more, and reflecting on what they are thankful for.
