How did Thanksgiving become a national holiday? This one-page printable comic tells the true story.
It begins with the colonial days of thanksgiving, set apart for prayer and repentance. Then George Washington's 1789 proclamation, Sarah Josepha Hale's long letter-writing campaign, and Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation that made it an annual national tradition. The story finishes with Franklin Roosevelt's 'Franksgiving' move that split the country state by state, and the 1941 law that fixed the fourth Thursday for good.
Print it for a Thanksgiving unit study, morning work, or a family read before the holiday. One page, no prep.
