Thanksgiving originated as a harvest festival in the early 17th century, primarily celebrated by English Pilgrims in North America. The most recognized event took place in 1621 when Pilgrims and Native Americans, specifically the Wampanoag tribe, shared a feast to celebrate the Pilgrims' successful harvest. The holiday evolved over the years, with various regions observing their own versions until President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, establishing the tradition we recognize today.
