So last Thursday was Thanksgiving. As per usual, the America Haters who are supported by China and the Billionaire Boys Club of Davos unfurled their false hate America division narratives in full force and voice.
The latest leftie untruth is that Thanksgiving celebrates an American massacre of 700 of the Indigenous people of the Pequot nation. The leftie narrative is that the Pequot were celebrating the green corn festival and all in one place and these evil White male Americans burned their village, killed 700 people, and then declared a day of Thanksgiving. Well, that’s SORT of true, but it has no relation to the Modern American celebration of Thanksgiving.
First, let’s get to the untruths- Central to this narrative is the endless implication that Indigenous Americans lived in a happy state of peace, love and kumbaya until the White men came. Both according to their own histories and anthropology, this is simply not the truth. Indigenous tribes on the North American continent went to war with each other, killed each other and took control of hunting, fishing, and food territory from each other.
The tribes in the area the Pilgrims settled had been in a constant state of war with each other for hundreds of years. When the English colonists came, who considered themselves Englishmen from the moment of their birth, most of them before 1600, to 1776. Even at the start of the American Revolution they considered themselves to be Englishmen. So, when these English guys arrived at Plymouth Rock, they found Indigenous people here at war with each other. They formed an alliance with one tribe against another. So, these NOT AMERICANS joined a war and joined one side against the other.
This war went on for two decades with colonist participation. The Colonist entered the war in 1620 and it didn’t end until 1641. Towards the end of that war, in 1637, there was a massacre of roughly 700 Pequot who had gathered in a military fort they had built to celebrate the Green Corn festival. These were most of the warriors, and the families of those warriors, of that nation. There had been a long string of atrocities by both sides in this war. The fort was burned, and braves killed as they ran out. This was a major military victory for one Indigenous tribe and their ENGLISH allies. The Governor of the colony declared a day of thanksgiving.
In those days, a day of thanksgiving was NOT a party. It was a solemn day of prayer to thank God for something. There were days of thanksgiving for ships arriving, for the coming of rain, for harvests, for military victories. For the Birth of a new royal, for the arrival of a new King. Days of thanksgiving were not unusual. This massacre was NOT the formation point of the present American Thanksgiving.
The legend superimposed on our modern Thanksgiving is a retelling of the 1621 feast to celebrate the bountiful harvest of that year after the terrible year of 1619-1620 that had been filled with starvation and disease. At the 1621 Thanksgiving there was a feast and it celebrated not just harvest but the alliance of the English colonists with Indigenous tribes. This fact negates the modern left narrative that the English Colonists were racists. They formed an ongoing military alliance with native peoples against other native people.
Our modern American Thanksgiving descends from Abraham Lincoln and his desire to bind the nation together with a National Day of Thanksgiving to celebrate the end of the bloodshed of the American Civil War, a war fought to destroy the English imported institution of Chattel Slavery. That first Thanksgiving was far more solemn than our present celebration, but it did include, in many locations, feasts.
After Lincoln was assassinated, members of his administration who sought to bind the nation together as one people, and other Republicans who desired the same, recrafted thanksgiving by grafting onto it the 1621 harvest feast onto a modern National Day of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was designed form its start as a multi racial, multi-regional day of forging Americans into one culture of many races and religions, to make us one united people.
The insistence that modern thanksgiving is a day to celebrate White American male murder of Indigenous people is a bold-faced lie that is designed purposefully by people who seek to destroy our culture and our people and to destroy our national day of unification. Modern American Thanksgiving began as a celebration of PEACE and the end of a brutal war that ended the brutal European institution of slavery on our shores. It had been crafted and curated to make us one united people. Our national day of Thanksgiving never has had a thing to do with promoting racism or genocide. It is in fact a celebration of brotherhood and the best impulses of our people.
Those who hate America, the nation that birthed and blessed them, need healing. Their unreasonable hatred has driven them insane with the lies they retell and the lies they invent. Theya re to be pitied, not to be adhered to, not to be taken seriously.
America is still the best hope for mankind.
