　This holiday began in 1621. In 1620, Puritans came to Plymouth from England, because they couldn’t practice their religion freely in Britain. At that time England believed the Church of England. Americans called them ‘The Pilgrims’. Puritans made friends with the Native Americans, and they learned how to grow foods such as corn and pumpkin. Although it was cold in winter and many people died, some of them could pass difficult first winter thanks to Native Americans. The next year they were able to grow more food. Then they thanked God for a good harvest.
