Thanksgiving's development, from early harvest celebrations to Abraham Lincoln's 1863 declaration of it as a national holiday. It draws attention to how customs, rituals, meals, and the holiday's cultural importance have changed throughout time. After Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, it underwent a dramatic transformation from its beginnings as a straightforward celebration of survival and thankfulness for the abundant harvest. Thanksgiving is a significant event in the US today, combining reflection on the past with modern traditions. It upholds its basic ideals of thankfulness, harmony, and plenty while including a turkey centerpiece, family get-togethers, parades, and football games. Since the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe first celebrated Thanksgiving, the holiday has evolved significantly. What began as a little celebration of harvest and survival has grown into a national festival that is full of feasts and family customs.
