Thanksgiving romanticizes the "Pilgrims." The reality is that the first Thanksgiving came about because the natives taught them how to grow crops in shiity soil and how to gather food. For the first time since settlers had arrived from England, the settlers thought they weren't going to starve to death during the winter. So they celebrated.
