The Pilgrims perhaps, or the Pilgrims and the Indians thought of it together. In the first term of US President Lincoln, Thanksgiving Day was made a national holiday. This was the result of the lobbying efforts of Republican Protestants. Prior to Lincoln's action, Thanksgiving was celebrated as a Protestant festival day.
