Best Answer

Columbus did not find North America. He did find Hispaniola in 1492, but it was the Pilgrims in 1620 where the idea of Thanksgiving is to have started. This is a 128 years later.

Thanksgiving is a remembrance of the Pilgrims at Plymouth giving thanks for the first harvest in the New World which was aided by local Native Americans. Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, 13 years AFTER the establishment of Jamestown, Va It was also over 120 years after Columbus fumbled into America.
