The story behind Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving is a harvest festival that several countries keep for their own reasons. In the United States it falls on the fourth Thursday of November: Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, and Congress fixed the date in 1941. The day after, Black Friday, opens the holiday shopping season.
Canada gives thanks on the second Monday of October, closer to its earlier harvest. Liberia, founded by formerly enslaved Americans, keeps the first Thursday of November. Across all of them the core is the same: a long table, family, and a meal that takes all day to cook.
