Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I was looking at that phrase " Happy Thanksgiving" and in finding out its origin, it's truly an American Holiday . Yet many schools teach some different things abouts its origin. Many Schools teach that the pilgrims who settled here only thanked the Indians for the bountiful harvest. When the truth is , the pilgrims thanked God for it. Then, they thanked the Native Indians, that had helped them . Isn't that the way you remember the story ? Ask the children around you to tell it to you and you might be surprised at what you see omitted. I think the school systems ( who teach the children) are taking the "seperation of church and state " a little too far. They're leaving out the facts. In the interest of political correctness, Thanksgiving was, and still is a day for thanking God in American History. Don't you think so?
