Thanksgiving | Episode #144 | Election College: United States Presidential Election History

Did you know that Pilgrims probably weren't the first people to celebrate Thanksgiving? And they definitely didn't celebrate it in the way we know now.  In this episode we talk about... the reason the Pilgrims came to America, how multiple groups celebrated a day of Thanksgiving, George Washington's day(s) of Thanksgiving, Sarah Hale, Abe Lincoln and Edward Winslow, and much more! ________________________ Ready for your holiday party?
