The Pilgrims and America's First Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims, who celebrated the first thanksgiving in America, were fleeing
religious persecution in their native England. In 1609 a group of Pilgrims
left England for the religious freedom in Holland where they lived and
prospered. After a few years their children were speaking Dutch and had
become attached to the dutch way of life. This worried the Pilgrims. They
considered the Dutch frivolous and their ideas a threat to their children's
education and morality.
So they decided to leave Holland and travel to the New World. Their trip was
financed by a group of English investors, the Merchant Adventurers. It was
agreed that the Pilgrims would be given passage and supplies in exchange for
their working for their backers for 7 years.
On Sept. 6, 1620 the Pilgrims set sail for the New World on a ship called
the Mayflower. They sailed from Plymouth, England and aboard were 44
Pilgrims, who called themselves the "Saints", and 66 others ,whom the
Pilgrims called the "Strangers."
The long trip was cold and damp and took 65 days. Since there was the danger
of fire on the wooden ship, the food had to be eaten cold. Many passengers
became sick and one person died by the time land was sighted on November
10th. | V*E

发帖数: 1642 | 3 Although they had first sighted land off Cape Cod they did not settle until
they arrived at Plymouth, which had been named by Captain John Smith in 1614
. It was there that the Pilgrims decide to settle. Plymouth offered an
excellent harbor. A large brook offered a resource for fish. The Pilgrims
biggest concern was attack by the local Native American Indians. But the
Patuxets were a peaceful group and did not prove to be a threat.
The first winter was devastating to the Pilgrims. The cold, snow and sleet
was exceptionally heavy, interfering with the workers as they tried to
construct their settlement. March brought warmer weather and the health of
the Pilgrims improved, but many had died during the long winter. Of the 110
Pilgrims and crew who left England, less that 50 survived the first winter.
On March 16, 1621 , what was to become an important event took place, an
Indian brave walked into the Plymouth settlement. The Pilgrims were
frightened until the Indian called out "Welcome" (in English!).
His name was Samoset and he was an Abnaki Indian. He had learned English
from the captains of fishing boats that had sailed off the coast. After
staying the night Samoset left the next day. He soon returned with another
Indian named Squanto who spoke better English than Samoset. Squanto told the
Pilgrims of his voyages across the ocean and his visits to England and
Spain. It was in England where he had learned English.
Squanto's importance to the Pilgrims was enormous and it can be said that
they would not have survived without his help. It was Squanto who taught the
Pilgrims how to tap the maple trees for sap. He taught them which plants
were poisonous and which had medicinal powers. He taught them how to plant
the Indian corn by heaping the earth into low mounds with several seeds and
fish in each mound. The decaying fish fertilized the corn. He also taught
them to plant other crops with the corn.
The harvest in October was very successful and the Pilgrims found themselves
with enough food to put away for the winter. There was corn, fruits and
vegetables, fish to be packed in salt, and meat to be cured over smoky fires.
The Pilgrims had much to celebrate, they had built homes in the wilderness,
they had raised enough crops to keep them alive during the long coming
winter, they were at peace with their Indian neighbors. They had beaten the
odds and it was time to celebrate.
The Pilgrim Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving to be
shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native Americans. They
invited Squanto and the other Indians to join them in their celebration.
Their chief, Massasoit, and 90 braves came to the celebration which lasted
for 3 days. They played games, ran races, marched and played drums. The
Indians demonstrated their skills with the bow and arrow and the Pilgrims
demonstrated their musket skills. Exactly when the festival took place is
uncertain, but it is believed the celebration took place in mid-October.
The following year the Pilgrims harvest was not as bountiful, as they were
still unused to growing the corn. During the year they had also shared their
stored food with newcomers and the Pilgrims ran short of food.
The 3rd year brought a spring and summer that was hot and dry with the crops
dying in the fields. Governor Bradford ordered a day of fasting and prayer,
and it was soon thereafter that the rain came. To celebrate - November 29th
of that year was proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. This date is believed to
be the real true beginning of the present day Thanksgiving Day.
The custom of an annually celebrated thanksgiving, held after the harvest,
continued through the years. During the American Revolution (late 1770's) a
day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress.
In 1817 New York State had adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom. By
the middle of the 19th century many other states also celebrated a
Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day
of thanksgiving. Since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day
proclamation, usually designating the fourth Thursday of each November as
the holiday.

发帖数: 1238 | 7 美国真相：什么叫感恩节
作者：dfssaqwe123
今天有人对我说：“感恩节要感恩，感谢上帝。”我不禁对这种说话，嗤之以鼻。
大家一定不知道感恩节的真正有来吧。我给大家讲讲：
1620年，一群在欧洲混不下去的盎格鲁撒克逊流氓，带着家小来到了美洲。刚
上岸的时候，自然困难重重。朴实善良的印第安人帮助了他们。用食物，水，土地给予
的最需要的流氓们。流氓们与印第安人暂时得到了和平共处。流氓们信誓旦旦的对印第
安人说：“感恩，感谢朋友。”后来呢？当流氓们站稳了脚跟，就需要更多的土地，水
，食物，当这些东西无法得到满足时，屠刀就举向了印第安人的脑袋。几十年间近亿的
印第安人消失了，为什么能这么快呢？除了用刀，用枪杀之外，最缺德的就是用天花病
菌感染印第安人。导致整村整部落的印第安人消失。这就是白种人的感恩。
当屠杀这种毫无羞耻的行为，蔓延开来的时候，一个叫杰克逊的流氓总统发表
了一个叫“天赋人权”的东西，当了那么多年婊子，又立了一块“天赋人权”的牌坊。
同时代法国也有一个叫“人权宣言”的东东。也就是说在白种人宣传众生平等最高潮的
时候，1亿多印第安人正被屠杀。也可以理解为那只是白种人的人权。
流氓国家的建国总统曾经说过：“野兽与印第安人两者都是掠食的野兽，仅仅
在形状上不同。用印第安人的人皮可以制作出优质长统靴。”不但是这么说的，也是这
么干的。
托马斯·杰弗逊，就是那位声称“天赋人权”——人人生而平等的流氓领袖，
在1812年说：“美国人被迫赶退印第安人，将森林野兽赶入乱石山。一年后，又说美国
人必须，追求灭绝印第安人或者将他们驱赶到我们不去的地方。”
此亚伯拉罕·林肯说过；“战的目标是彻底灭绝部落。他们将被像野兽一样对
待。每十分钟屠杀一名印第安人。”效率蛮高的吗。
在乱石山上你看到的第四张脸孔是流氓国20世纪的第一任总统，所谓的美国
英雄和诺贝尔和平奖得主，西奥多·罗斯福. 印第安斗士已经牢牢地掌握了他们命运的
话语权：美国人对印第安人采取种族灭绝而且偷走了印第安人的土地。罗斯福说：“
这是不可避免而且最终有利的，我不想走得太远去说只有死掉的印第安人才是好的，但
是我相信10个好印第安人有9个是死了的，而且我也不愿意去仔细查询第10个死亡的案
情。
现在呢？连美国人都不好意思说：“感谢印第安人了，于是改成了感谢上帝
。”哈哈，上帝是什么东西？谁见过上帝？如果有上帝，帝哥知道白人干这种无耻的事
情，不知有何感想？也许白人说的感谢上帝的意思是：感谢上帝给了他们这么好的土地
，以及这么柔弱的敌人。哈哈哈哈哈哈。
过这种节，我感到恶心。事物的本来面目就是这么肮脏。其实骗别人容易，
骗自己难。有的人要是非要当鸵鸟谁也没办法。因为你永远叫不醒装睡的人。
隐蔽在高尚后面的，永远是罪恶。 |
