Why does the United States celebrate Thanksgiving in November if the real day was held in September?
Thanksgiving is observed on the fourth Thursday of November by law [55 Stat 862] of December 26, 1941. Its observance is regulated as a federal holiday. Before the law, the Proclamation of October 3, 1863 by 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865] started a traditional recognition of November as the month for Thanksgiving celebrations.
Until the Lincoln Proclamation, observation of a day of thanks wasn't uniform in the United States of America. It tended to be observed in New England. Even where it was observed, there was no uniformity in the choice of a date. The date in fact could range from October to January.
