This festivity has its origin in 1620, when a gruop of English people arrived in america. They came in a ship named MayFlower, forming a crew of about 102 people. The festivity began to celebrate in 1621, as many Europeans festival just before and after the harvest time. Nowadays, the festivity also celebrates that the Europeans taught natives to plant, breed animals and prepare their food, but actually, that story wasn't the real one.The true story was that there were wars between natives and Europeans, and almost an 80-90% of the native population died because of the illnesses. This is the real past of this tipical day in USA and more and more around the world.
