@The Indomitable lol

@ James of the iron hills: Thanksgiving represents a lot of important things in the US:

- Religious freedom

- The basis for our constitution (the mayflower compact)

- Sucessful harvest

- Peace between natives and europeans (in spite of the unintentional disease and later genocide)

- Recoveri ng from hardship

The genocide didn't come until later, so you can't really blame the original settlers.
