Agree to Disagree (Turkey Style)
Not everyone believes the first Thanksgiving took place in Massachusetts in 1621. Many historians believe that journalism is responsible for that story, not the actual events of the Pilgrims and Indians.
Some believe the first Thanksgiving was in modern day Texas when Spanish Explorer Francisco Vasquez Coronado led 1,500 of his men in a “Celebration of Thanks”. They were traveling North from Mexico City in search of gold.
Other theories vary on whether Thanksgiving was a religious thank you to God, for helping the Pilgrims through a harsh winter or if it was a harvest celebration common in their culture.
