Thanksgiving dates back to 1621, when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November, which was celebrated on the last Thursday of the month. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday up a week in an attempt to spur retail sales during the Great Depression and in 1941 he signed a bill making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November.
