The First Thanksgiving: What Really Happened

An educational animation that tells the in-depth story surrounding the first "thanksgiving". Hope you enjoy!

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This video is meant to give a non-bias account of the events which unfolded in the years leading up to the First Thanksgiving, and the several years following the feast (roughly 1614-1622). I apologize for any pronunciation errors with Native American names; I have a deep respect for the native peoples of America, but I am ignorant on speaking their languages. I hope I have not offended anyone!
To keep the video below 7 minutes, many details were negated, so everything inside my video is what I consider essential to receiving a well-rounded view and understanding of this very interesting event. For instance, we still don't know what the epidemic of the Great Dying of 1616-1619 was, despite numerous theories. Squanto died in 1622, never admitting any involvement in a plot to overthrow Massasoit. The events that happened after 1622 could fill several more videos!
There is no political agenda behind this video. I am a student of history with and I have tried to give an account of the first Thanksgiving that is as close as we can possibly get to the truth.

Most notable cannibal tribes that committed genocide on other tribes include the Atzecs, Karankara, and Carib tribes.

Also just like today's migrants its the unwanted that get pushed onto other nations (only america was founded by unwanted people who then betrayed their own people while killing the native people and who's ancestors then go on to deny others who would seek refuge) History is a cycle of selfishness and religious fever (luckily religion is slowly fading thanks to education,scientific breakthrough and the passage of time that has turned every religious prediction into yet another joke)

I actually used this video as part of teaching my 7yo the truth. We also discussed the murder of Wituwamat and how that's the first time that the Pilgrim leadership named "Thanksgiving" to a feast in celebration to his head being placed on a pike on their fort. The happy jolly harvest feast they shared with the Wampanoag in 1621 was a footnote compared to keeping the blood soaked clothes and head of murdered Pequot tribesmen as trophies and even used to decorate Governor Bradford's second wedding. Off to go make some cutesy clothespin "Indians" now for his school project! 😖

[@void9837]

Jesus brought the Pilgrims to America as the new promise land. Israel was long gone in 1620. Genesis 12. Matthew 21:43-44 and Jeremiah 31:31. The Pilgrims brought mulitiple merchant ships carrying supplies and paid them with European money. The Pilgrims enjoyed a nice first Thanksgiving with the Indians proving they were friends. The Indian wars didn't start until the British arrived, convincing the Indians to kill the settlers under false pretenses. The British chased defectors in America and attempted hostile takeovers many times.

Theocracy was done away with after Old testament Israel. There is nothing in the bible about christians nation building because it says we are strangers in a strange land passing through. If you live for this world by it's standards then you are not truly following Christ. He expressly told his own disciples not to lord over anyone but we are to be like he was as a humble servant. God never forces Himself on anyone. Those who do are of Satan. It is all coming out now about the corrupt churches and the Catholic abomination. Truth is coming out whether you like it or not. Jesus said that all that is hidden will be made known. All the religious liars are being revealed. Jesus said that "ALL" the nations will mourn at the sign of His return. That means there are no christian nations. To contradict that is calling God a liar. Hypocrites better read the bible because they are in for a rude awakening.

It is a reminder that we can always go back to the way it was before the atrocities.... The sharing the carrying the putting away of our racist hate and indifference.

"For 40 years the two peoples lived alongside one another in a state of peace, and even amity. Inevitably personal conflicts flared from time to time, but they were effectively contained and resolved on their own terms; they did not lead on to larger difficulties. This whole fortunate situation depended partly on the personal influence of the leaders of each group, and partly on considerations of geography. As long as Bradford and Massasoit were shaping policy, and as long as there was ample space for both communities, friendship continued. But after 1660 there was a change on both counts. The growing population of the Colony created powerful pressures for further expansion; and the General Court responded by allowing some new settlement nearer than ever before to the Wampanoag lands at Mount Hope. This meant increased contact between the two peoples, and a higher level of quarrels over such things as title boundaries and errant livestock. Meanwhile Bradford had died in 1657, and Massasoit in 1660, and the new leaders on both sides, while surely not eager for conflict, were less deeply committed to ways of peace. The pattern of developments in the years that followed as variable and complex, but the overall trend of Indian-settler relations was unmistakably downhill. The end result was the single most traumatic event in the whole history of the Old Colony, the waging of King Philip's War. Philip was the younger son of Massasoit who had come to the chieftainship of the Wampanoags in 1662; and it was he who opened direct hostilities with an attack on the town of Swansea in June, 1675." -"A Little Commonwealth, Family Life in Plymouth Colony" by John Demos, pp 14-16.

The story of Squanto is an amazing one. After being kidnapped, sold into slavery and then rescued by Franciscan monks, Squanto returned to his home only to find that his people had all died due to famine and disease. He lived with another tribe for a time until European settlers came and began building on the land where his tribe once lived. However, they struggled to survive and began to die. Squanto had every reason to hate the settlers, but he didn't. He forgave and he helped them to survive.

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

Yes, good points. Except he also showed some devious traits in his plots, which raise larger issues. The Native Ams also had their other plotting in intertribal jostling. Understanding the complexity of Christian Civilization and the layers of the Levels of Explanation is necessary to keep straight what are human biological tendencies, even in Christian authorities and churches, and what are Christian spiritual-religious processes and strengths that approach, or benefit from, things like shamanism. The Quaker-Friends, for example, are a remarkable Christian denominational development by George Fox and others. They kind of begin to highlight the chasm within Christian sociology itself. However, looking at Christian ascetics and monks, the rise of Universities by Christians, and the way that Christians with integrity begin to appear like popcorn is a serious insight-generating subject. Thomas Jefferson became anti-clerical as an Episcopalian, while the Quaker-Friends influenced Sgandiyo Handsome Lake, apparently. Yellow Wolf´s story is also a good one to look at. In the end, the violence of the Euro Am "whites" gets at the enormous power of Euro Am culture. It has Christian origins in modernization, but can´t be stopped by fighting fire with fire. It needs water, and that means getting eaten up and swallowed and learning the meaning of University-based education, at best. Black Elk, also, with his own spiritual intelligence.

[@5urg3x]

He wanted their guns so that he could overthrow Massasoit and defeat the Narraganset…he didn’t help the settlers out of the goodness of Christ, lol. He wanted the power. Also the Wampanoag were a peaceful tribe; they had peace with the Europeans until they started kidnapping and fighting with them and selling them into slavery. Their mistake. Massasoit should’ve had them all killed when he had the chance. The only reason he didn’t was because 90% of his people were killed by disease in the great dying, and the Europeans had guns.

[@captainmeow2771]

The Lord works in mysterious ways. He always has a bigger plan.

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

@@5urg3x If Massasoit had killed the settlers, what then? It would just have shown an even darker side of humanity, waiting for later European foot stomp. European power was no accident. Christians had turned monastic schools into Universities. That is the foundation of "science," and the Enlightenment, easily refuting all secular materialist ideology. Europeans going for God, gold, and glory had the Gospel at their basis, but had plenty of gold and glory types on the way. That was the Conquistadors of Spain, and later settlers in some or many cases. The Quaker Friends became another group giving insight into the meaning of Christian integrity in real world tension with movers and shakers in the real world of trading and conflict. It´s the heights of achievement after WWII that have led to international organizations and the UN human rights community, and sustainability.

[@5urg3x]

He showed them how to plant crops, how to fish, how to survive, because they had no clue…they would’ve easily died without their help, and what did they get for it? Genocide and slavery.

@@UncivilHistory that is a little bit of a stretch. The PILGRIMS are the topic, not their children. Not Massasoits children. The pilgrims modeled how things could go when people seek compromise and peace. They were also given the land where the patuxet ince lived.

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

@@mca4093 Right. So, we can focus on the PILGRIMS and appreciate their model. When their kids showed their bloodlust, it isn´t just about blaming the kids and the other Puritans. We´ve ultimately got to get into the role of human biology and the meaning of morality. And Christians need to start sinking their teeth into multidisciplinary literacy overall. The Pilgrims model, then, the data tells us, wasn´t a strong enough one, or comprehensive enough. Personally, I´ve learned peace by studying liberal arts psychology and sociology, all with my Bio Anthro degree. I went from there over years, having gone from atheist humanist in high school to interfaith seeker. Historically, the Quaker-Friends came on the scene with exceptional Christian spirituality and integrity. Others more pop up as individuals. Christianity, then, in the rough and tumble of the rise of Christian technological might overall using University-based philosophical scientific power by businesspeople types, was largely entering an animal phase. Biological impulses rolling like steamrollers. I think we need to get clear about that, because it´s not about guilt. It´s about human rights and sustainability, and oh yeah, "we" are out of control. Today and worldwide. We need to learn from the Native Ams today to control and orient our inflamed psychocultural influenced selves to learning and sustainability. Native Ams have to insert themselves into our educational systems, where Christian integrity has been modernized and can be spiritualized. The Pilgrim model has merit in its context, and when modernized appropriately. Modernization has been a b*tch. I´d say studying a lot of anthropology goes far, as Obama´s having an anthropologist mom kind of informally suggests. Juggling all the layers is a rewarding task in the end, that can help unite key indicators like Quaker-Friends and Unitarian Universalist interfaith, and the need for Native Ams to syncretize, not resent.

Who said they were "highly skilled seamen"? They were just religious people looking for a new place to live. They hired a Ship captain with minimal crew. Who At first stayed but half the crew died and the Mayflower and remaining crew went back less than a year later.

Everything we have learned in history class has been carefully curated and rewritten to create strong national pride, once you look closer you realize how our history isn't any different then any other country full of corruption, greed, and abuse of power 😣

[@zanitzeuken]

actually it's built upon revision after revision. the pride was gained from defeating a superior military and winning our independence. our country is the only one built with the idea that the individual is the sovereign.

Don't call native Americans Indians that's really offensive indigenous people is better to say

[@aaronlandry3934]

TheEzmaGames It’s not offensive, it’s just incorrect. Back in the days of the colonies, Europe had just discovered Asia, but they had only explored and interacted with people from India, so they assumed that the entire continent was also India. When Columbus discovered the Americas, he had thought he had sailed to India, so he addressed the people there as Indians. I guess that the term just stuck around because of Columbus, but the word is outdated, because we now know that Native Americans are not from India and that India is not all of Asia.

The actual holiday was declared by Abraham Lincoln. The pilgrims are credited with the first harvest festival. The actual national thanksgiving holiday though comes from Abraham Lincoln in 1863. They partly wanted to use the holiday to be thankful for the victories they were having in the civil war.

[@bowen4878]

Jerry Carter Let’s review. The pilgrims escape persecution, then settle in unoccupied land cleared out by disease, then they barely survive in winter, then they form alliance with a tribe, then they peacefully celebrate and have what we call thanksgiving and spend time with our families, then years later the Indians attack pilgrims and break the treaty. And for some reason people are still attacking thanksgiving? A bunch mental retards.

[@bowen4878]

Planet Watcher On the thanksgiving day they all got along

[@24601Tidwell]

The first Congress of the USA in 1789 passed the Bill of Rights and immediately after passed this first joint resolution of the House and Senate recorded in the Congressional Record for September 25, 1789. An official, national day of thanksgiving was at the very beginning of the American nation. It was a long standing custom in America just not a national holiday in the way we have them now. "Resolved, That a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer. . . ."

What's most tragic for me was that Edward Winslow and Massasoit grew to become friends, with Edward slowly changing his view of Massasoit being a savage. For a time, there was actual peace, even friendship to an extent. Sadly all good things come to an end

[@brendaann727]

That is very good to know, thank you.... While we know that most all peoples (individuals as well as nations) have a varied history with good & bad & even unspeakable tragedies, it is good to mourn the mistakes & failings of others. (as well as our own) And even better than not perpetuating that which is wrong; is to hold onto those things which are good, make for peace between peoples, & inspire us all to be better... As you have done in showing us the value of a friendship that bridged the gaps between people in vastly differing cultures. I'm sure there were other examples of friendship & good that we could all be encouraged by. I have read some myself in my search for the truth in our history.

Pretty much the same story great grandma ( dads moms side)used to tell at Thanksgiving. Her side of the family came over on the Mayflower.

By saying that the natives were trading with the Europeans for 100 years, then after being denied settlement tradesmen introduced disease is an indication of intent.
