Why wasnt the fork at the first thanks giving?
The fork was not present at the first Thanksgiving in 1621 because it was not yet widely used in England or among the Pilgrims. At that time, most people ate with knives and spoons, and forks were considered a foreign novelty. The Pilgrims likely used their hands and basic utensils to enjoy the meal with Native Americans, who shared their harvest. It wasn't until the late 17th century that forks became more common in American dining practices.

Did Andrew Johnson make Thanksgiving a national holiday?
The Continental Congress proclaimed a Thanksgiving holiday (December 18) in 1777, and Washington proclaimed a Thanksgiving day (Nov. 26th) in 1789. Adams did likewise in 1798 and 1799. Jefferson did not proclaim any such holiday, believing it to be an impermissible conflation of church and state. Madison proclaimed holidays in 1814 and 1815.
From 1816 to 1863, there was no federal Thanksgiving, but by the end of that period, most states had established the holiday.
Thanksgiving was established annually by presidential proclamation (frequently expressed as a "recommendation" by the president) from 1863 until 1941, when Congress established it as a recurring national holiday.
Lincoln's proclamation in 1863 is generally regarded as establishing the national holiday, but it really only proclaimed it for that year. It did, however, establish a precedent followed by his successors, including Andrew Johnson (though in 1865, the holiday occurred in December). In the 1930's, FDR attempted to move the date back one week to enlarge the holiday shopping period, but Congress set the date, and firmly established the holiday, in 1941.
Presidents continue to proclaim it, though the proclamation is now superfluous.
