I hope that all of you out there
have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. I always find the
history of such days extremely interesting. If you do as well, here is a
little information about Thanksgiving for you. Enjoy. . .
Congress Establishes Thanksgiving On September 28, 1789, just before leaving for recess, the first
Federal Congress passed a resolution asking that the President of the
United States recommend to the nation a day of thanksgiving. A few days
later, President George Washington issued a proclamation naming
Thursday, November 26, 1789 as a "Day of Publick Thanksgivin" - the
first time Thanksgiving was celebrated under the new Constitution.
Subsequent presidents issued Thanksgiving Proclamations, but the dates
and even months of the celebrations varied. It wasn't until President
Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Proclamation that Thanksgiving was regularly
commemorated each year on the last Thursday of November. Click Here to read the rest of the story from our National Archives Monday

" --Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 With these words, the founding fathers began the greatest experiment in Democracy the world has ever seen. This is the beginning of the Declaration of Independence. We are going to be looking very closely at this document in the days to come. We are also going to be examining and comparing it to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The core of what makes our nation great lives and breathes in this document. Let's get into it. . . .
