Of the original 102 Pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, only about half survived to attend the Thanksgiving celebration in 1621. By that time, approximately 50 Pilgrims were alive, having endured a harsh winter that claimed many lives due to illness and food shortages. The Thanksgiving event was a three-day feast shared with the Wampanoag people to celebrate the successful harvest.

Why were pilgrams also known as separatists?

The Pilgrims broke away from the Church of England that King Henry instituted. They were persecuted for their beliefs and that they did not attend the Church of England. By the time the Pilgrims broke away from the church, King James was ruling. Some of these "Separatists" went to Holland. They lived there until they felt the Dutch were a bad influence. And again, some of those separatists left for America. These Separatists then made their "pilgrimage" (journey) to America. Today these Puritans/Religious Dessenters/Separatists are called the Pilgrims.

Did Indians attend the first thanksgiving dinner?

No.Our view of the first Thanksgiving comes to us from the 1800's and when the history of the colonies were romanticized. It wasn't until 1860 that the holiday became official in the United States. The Pilgrims had a fast each year as part of their religion and when they broke the fast there was a big dinner. Somehow this became the "first Thanksgiving."

What is the correct grammar- thanks for accomodation for the celebration tonight?

First, you cannot say "thanks for accommodation." It would be "thanks for the accommodation"-- but it still wouldn't make sense. Are you saying you are grateful you were invited to the celebration? In that case: Thanks for inviting me to the celebration tonight. Are you saying you are happy there was enough room for you to attend the celebration? That could be: Thanks for finding some room for me to attend the celebration tonight.
