USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As was the custom in England, the Pilgrims celebrated their harvest with a festival. The 50 remaining colonists and roughly 90 Wampanoag tribesmen attended the “First Thanksgiving.” The major similarity between the first Jamestown settlers and the first Plymouth settlers was great human suffering.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both the Pilgrims and members of the Wampanoag tribe ate pumpkins and other squashes indigenous to New England-possibly even during the harvest festival-but the fledgling colony lacked the butter and wheat flour necessary for making pie crust. Moreover, settlers hadn’t yet constructed an oven for baking.

Detailed explanation-4: -William Bradford organized a feast to celebrate the harvest and invited a group of “Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit” to the party.
