But yeah, I was talking to my Nephew & Niece who attend public school & it’s interesting that we only learn about the British-Protestant’s involvement in the new world, hail thanksgiving as the birth of our nation & public schools gloss over the fact the America was already discovered & already had established Christian colonies on both sides of the countries coasts years before Plymouth!!! At this point I find the purpose of promoting thanksgiving to really be about upholding the Protestant mythos. Indians broke bread & participated in the Mass with Christian’s a Half-century Prots even arrived to the
New world.
This particular holiday feels inauthentic to me personally. I believe it diminishes the real Thanksgiving, by glossing over America’s original Christian history.
It’s mind blowing more Christian’s don’t know this.
Just a Christian who loves history.
