In September 1620, a small ship called the Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying 102 passengers. Those passengers were the very first people to celebrate Thanksgiving. In November 1621, Governor Bradford organized a celebratory feast after the Pilgrims' first corn harvest had proved successful. He invited a group of the colony's Native Americans allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit. Now remembered as Americans "first Thanksgiving"

Modern Thanksgiving consists of football, traditional food, and volunteering to feed the less fortunate. Thanksgiving food today is very different than it was in 1621.

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians.
