Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a day for family and bountiful food. Because of the persistence of Sarah

Josepha Hale it’s became a permanent national celebration.

Finally a national day of Thanksgiving

• At 1863 president Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving.

President Roosevelt tried to change the date.

• In the 1930’s he tried to slide it forward by a week to extend the Christmas shopping season, but without success.

• Later during Roosevelt’s administration, in 1941, Congress declared the fourth Thursday in November to be the legal Holiday known as Thanksgiving.
