"Are you saying Trump LIED to us, son?! That it was all a LIE?! Well this puts things into a new perspective, we have been wrong all along, we were duped! Oh my god, and we gave him a second term??!"
The left is rehabilitating Thanksgiving by recognizing that, even if its historic origins trace back to pilgrim shit, the national holiday was established to celebrate the defeat of the North over the South after the civil war, the end of chattel slavery and self-emancipation of black slaves from the institution.
Still some problematic context to work through but we can actually celebrate the spirit of the holiday while cherishing our friends and family.
Maybe we should just honor the actual creation of the holiday, which involved one woman pestering multiple presidents to create a national day of thanks since she felt our country was becoming too divided. (This was on the lead up to the Civil War, and ironically it was Lincoln that finally listened to her and made it a national holiday.)
That's some sweet and relatable background in our current era! Adopting the strategy of pestering presidents in ways to make them listen to individual concerns may have been lost to time, and deserves to be celebrated
I’m really hating how criticism of Columbus Day has turned into a complete rewriting of history. Thanksgiving was a celebration of friendly relations, exactly like it was taught in schools.
The native peoples had been devastated by disease, likely of European origin, but that had already occurred prior to the Pilgrims’ settlement, and it was an unintentional, inevitable result of contact between the old world and the new after such a long period of isolation.
Days of thanksgiving were often proclaimed after genocidal massacres in wars against the “indians”.
For example the Mystic Massacre. The “pilgrims and natives shared thanks and became friends” is the rewriting of history for national myth making most US textbooks do.
Praising your god after a military victory is a tradition as old as religion.
The American tradition of Thanksgiving evolved from traditions brought over from England, and truthfully has nothing at all to do with native Americans. It’s a harvest festival. The national myth that’s taught in schools, which really has little to do with the tradition, is of a 1621 feast in Plymouth Colony that was attended by their Wampanoag allies.
