Traditionally, the purpose was because the when the pilgrims came to the “new world” to start their new lives, they depended on the earth for food. They planted vegetables and crops and animals for food such as turkeys, chickens, and cows, etc. In order to pay respects to the creator, “god”, they celebrated thanksgiving for the good harvest. This type of holiday is celebrated in many other countries. In south Korea they have “chusok” which is a harvest festival 7 and also happens in the early fall in Korea. By: Graceful
