I m Native American and I love to learn. I do love thanksgiving. I can understand both views of celebrating and anti. But what I love most of about Thanksgiving is the compassion and gratefulness. If it weren't for the squanto the rest of the Pilgrims would have died. Which were 20 adults and 30 children.
Yes. That was their mistake. The natives were then murdered by those same people they helped. The Europeans showed no mercy even to children, elderly, and pregnant women in the very first Thanksgiving dinner.
Halloween is offensive, Thanksgiving is offensive, Christmas is offensive New years is offensive (resolutions are ableist) Valentines is offensive. (Sexist) Indepedence day is offensive Easter is Offensive (Christian). Everyday is offensive to these people.
Not true, any holiday celebrating homosexuality, abortion, sexual promiscuity, liberal ideology, or any pathetic, selfish want is celebrated with joviality by them.
looks like you took the blue pill. you prefer the beautiful lie rather than the ugly truth. The story doesn't end where that dude stops, in massachusetts there was native american land, guess how come there is nos such land in massachusetts? To know that, you need to read history books, not watch cherry picked historical passages from "prager university" that isn't even a university, they only call themselves that to try to make themselves deceptively look legit.
You Lefty’s make a horrible choice to judge historical events and people by today’s standards. That’s wrong. Judge them by the standards of their day. To do differently is disingenuous at best arrogant and narcissistic at worst.

Well, they made Christmas illegal, since theyrightly viewed it as violent and full of drunks. At the time, people chose a homeless person to become 'king', and marched to a rich manor, where they threatened and made good on said threats, much violence like arson, rape, and murder if the master of the house refused them food. Christmas stayed illegal until the 1800s.
I never heard the Squanto story......ever. This made me cry. It gives me hope that a thread of goodness still remains, weaved throughout the annals of time, in this country as not all of us are 'evil.' Granted there has been much evil, but the common folk just want to do good to their neighbor.
This holiday highlights the three pillars of America, right to free speech, right to freedom of religion, and right to self defense. Didn't know about the last bit actually, so now I respect this holiday even more. Going to start going to the range on Thanksgiving day.
We have so much to be thankful for but instead, we always look for things that are not perfect. It seems that more often than not we are trying to criticize the world and the society instead of appreciating what we already have. That being said, we should try to do better and improve our lives, but that can only be done if we stop passively attacking other people and cultures and actually become active builders of the world we want to live in.
You want us to forget about what really happened and pretend like everyone lived happily ever after. A blue pilled failed attempt to believe in a watered down version of the truth? What happened in history still effect us to this day

Hi Keith, as a conservative and a Christian, and hopefully a sincere free thinker do you reckon that native populations have been annihilated by the arrival of Europeans (these pilgrims being the first)? Do you feel any sense of guilt? Do you see this video to say the least slightly biased?
That was one good day in a long history of the crushing oppression of the Native Americans. Look, I'm quite left leaning, but understand that this is in the past. You shouldn't feel guilty about this, you didn't do this. Even if your ancestors did, does it matter? You aren't advocating for the destruction of Native Lands. There is no reason to have "white guilt" because you can't control the actions of people in the past. Trust me, I don't blame anyone here for any wrongdoing, and I sure as hell am not trying to cover anything up. I mean honestly, what do I gain by covering this up? Not like it was a partisan thing... Europeans just didn't give a shit about the Natives. Was as simple as that. I ask that instead of being mindless you consider that maybe you are being lied to. That maybe the left isn't interested in ruining thanksgiving for you. Hell, I still celebrate it with my family and have never felt guilty about that and I hope you all feel the same way. It is genuinely ridiculous that anyone feels the need to fight over this. There is no fight to be had. I hope yall have a good Thanksgiving.
I wouldn't feel guilt for something I didn't do, and in the long run, the Europeans arrival was good for the natives. The natives were very tribal, always fighting and enslaving each other, even eating their fallen enemies. I don't like or agree the way the Europeans killed so many (though many natives actually helped them take out the worse natives), but I understand that is incredibly hard to live by a group that fights all the time and has practices like cannibalism. You also have to remember how primitive they were compared to the Europeans, the natives hadn't even invented the wheel yet. And there were other groups back then who would have done much worse to the natives and were worse people.
You have. History is a complicated subject, and is often far more subjective than we like. It’s way too complicated to tell children, since children want everything to be simple. Most adults too, I’ve noticed, but truth resists simplicity.
T. van rossum 1. idk about the cameras in microwaves installed by obama one, therefore im not gonna say much else on that topic 2. "the electons being "rigged by the Democrats" (until Trump won of course) that one has flaws. first of all, in the wikileaks, hillary took the election from bernie. was it right? nope. she would've had the presidential elections too if it weren't for a woke populace and donald trump. secondly, both parties are guilty of corruption on many fronts, the democratic party seems to be the most corrupt party recently. 3. "Obama born in Kenya" yes, he was born in Kenya, and not hawaii like his trumped up birth certificate says, which has so many font changes, compared to others during the same timeframe, makes obamas look like a outright fake. at least malik obama produced something more creditable. 4. "the "Bowling Green Massacre"" i haven't heard anything about that one either, and im not gonna say much on it without knowledge of what happened.
wendef ung isn't that exactly what happened in nazi germany back in the 1930s? the media back then would nit pick stuff and claim a bunch of bull. its the same with communist USSR and now state run media like in north korea do the same exact shit. nit pick stuff and claim a bunch of bull.
The story of Squanto is actually even more incredible. He got captured by an English Captain, crossed the Atlantic, went back, got captured by the Spanish, got freed, want to England, crossed the Atlantic, went back to England since he was too far from his home to walk and then finally he got back. Ps the first thing the natives did with the pilgrims on the may flower was ask for beer...
The pilgrims were right to give thanks. Even though about half survived. That was in itself a miracle. And so was the story of Squanto. It would be unbelievable if it were not true.
@@HighRisksatx resentful against something that didnt happen to you by people that are not alive today. Let's just all hate each other, that seems healthy
Thanksgiving seems to be one of the days where we can legitimately celebrate different peoples working together. That’s a beautiful thing. Of course there are lots of bad stories too but why celebrate those?
The only thing I would consider false in this, is that somewhat hilariously, the Local Natives thought the settling Pilgrims had decided to declare war, and as such charged in, ready for battle, only to find that their allies were just target shooting. And, as a sign of good faith brought the hunting prize. And on the first day or so it was primarily seafood like lobster. THAT is the only point of contention I would raise.
Happy Thanksgiving and God bless everyone let us all remember to thank God for all of our blessings for that is what this day is for to thank god without him we are nothing let's never forget that
Yes, exactly! Our church and ministry have talked about the true historical thanksgiving. In fact I just did a video on thanksgiving. Not on the first one but in general historically how it was, like that it wasn't just one day out of the year. Thanks for making this video!
No, there is one story. It's written in first hand sources from Edward Winslow and William Bradford. There was another Thanksgiving Feast 16 years later to honor victory in the Pequot War (which climaxed with the Mystic Massacre) which people use to trick others into believing Thanksgiving celebrates genocide. But even that war was a war between Natives that the pilgrims simply got involved in, so to call it racist is completely logiphobic.
These diseases came from Animals. It was evolution. Animal diseases where Europeans built up a resistance. It has happened the other way around. Europeans have been killed by disease they did not have exposure to also.
chris fromm if it came from animals then why hadn’t the native Americans built up a resistance to the disease as they had similar animals in America and Europe. Humans aren’t so biologically different that one race can build up an immunity while another race can’t, all races have the exact same immune system function.
Case 1: I am talking about the Europeans that tried to settle central Africa unsucessfully. There where diseases they had not built a resistance towards. Case 2: Incorrect,native Americans did not have similar animals. Only South Americans had the llama and alpaca. Cows, goats and pigs where first introduced by the Spanish. Europeans had lived often without them. Sometimes in their house. When the old and new world met, they had not built up resistance. The Europenas had died from these diseases a thousand years before in masses, the survivors had a resistance. You have Asian, polynesian, and Natives that still can not digest cows milk easily.
MR BlackandWhite Read "Germs, Guns, and Steel". The book attempts to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others, while arguing against the idea that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral, or inherent genetic superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate primarily in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops.
I love Thanksgiving, The Food, The Dallas Cowboys, and Giving Thanks for All we got. I learned about the Pilgrims in School like everyone did, But a few years ago I read that the first Thanksgiving in North America Happened about 20 years earlier on the Banks of The Rio Grand near the Town of San Elizario, Texas with Spanish Troops Led by Juan De Onate and their Families and some Local Indians

it is also ok to be of european heritage. not excusing genocide or racism but also not excusing the myth that north american natives were living peacefully and holistically on their own tracts of land and knew not of war and disease until the europeans arrived.
Thanksgiving is a time of thanks to God, for family, food, and all other good things in Life. The pilgrims didn't do bad but others did. We mustn't forget that.
Thank you, Prager U. Thank you so much. I almost cried watching this. I am going to celebrate my thanksgiving holiday to the utmost from now on, Praise God.
Awesome video! Well done! I will add that the phrase “fascination with guns” is based on a 21st century perspective. It’s paramount to saying that the Spartans had a fascination with the spear. The gun was an essential tool for survival and proficiency in its use was critical.
Excellent video! Thank you for making this Prager. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Psalm 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High
This video is suppressing truth. Thanksgiving is indeed a day of mourning. The pilgrims ruthlessly murdered countless natives on that day. You can't ignore that like this video blatantly did.
No, Prager doesn't push false narratives, like you do, Alec. While you pretend isolated incidents tell the story, most native victims of smallpox didn't get it from intentionally infecting blankets.
The most famous of genocides that was turned into a family-friendly holiday is obviously Thanksgiving. The day that we reserve for stuffing ourselves with our family around a lush tablesetting is a day that grew out of a truly horrific event in American history. In 1637, after discovering the dead body of a white man, settlers armed themselves and set a Pequot village on fire. Anyone that managed to escape, including children, was systematically hunted down and killed. The name "Thanksgiving" allegedly comes from a speech that the governor of Bay Colony gave afterwards, referring to the day as: "A day of thanksgiving. Thanking God that [the settlers] had eliminated over 700 men, women, and children."
Thank you for sharing. I knew some about Thanksgiving, but I learned some new information from this post. Some people are going to believe what they want to and you can't change that. It is like the old saying, "Some people will argue with a signpost."
Michael Medved is always honest and spot on with his research. Anyone who chooses to mourn on a day that we all recognize as "Thanksgiving" needs some serious counseling . . .
Thank you. Well said! Original, source documents will always shine the Light of Truth, revealing dark lies for what they really are. America's early settlers were righteous, not perfect, people. Thank you.
Yeah, then you could actually see that the "truth" that this "university" is preaching is actually a web of lies that has been woven over years of denial of history. Thanksgiving is a day of mourning. You can read John Winthrop's own words describing how the slaughter happened and how he wanted Thanksgiving to become a day of thanking god that he was able to murder them all.
The natives were then murdered by those same people they helped. The Europeans showed no mercy even to children, elderly, and pregnant women in the very first Thanksgiving dinner.
@@adfamily8310 Sad that you prefer to believe lies than the truth. Try reading historical documents instead of lies told by real freedom, liberty loving hating leftists and socialists.
@@cynthiacook1646 too funny, just because you don’t want to believe white pepper murdered Natives in cold blood after the Natives saved them from the winter, and stopped them from eating the Native dead and buried. You can’t change the past, deal with it!
@@cynthiacook1646 oh and having a whole colony relocating again after less then a decade, yeah they were fleeing, colonizers failed because they were weak so they took advantage of the Native hospitality - hence the term.
Friends, I just came home from visiting Foxwoods' Pequot Museum and in 1636 there was a Pequot war that killed at least 600 native Americans. Further, let me quote Brittanica: "Pequot War, war fought in 1636-37 by the Pequot people against a coalition of English settlers from the Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and Saybrook colonies and their Native American allies (including the Narragansett and Mohegan) that eliminated the Pequot as an impediment to English colonization of southern New England. It was an especially brutal war and the first sustained conflict between Native Americans and Europeans in northeastern North America" This war was a massacre. There were around 16,000 Pequots initially and by 1972 there were just 21! Friends, I encourage you to do your own research and you will find out that true history is a lot different than the nice views we have learned growing up. Much different.
This tiny time frame was a rare peaceful time between natives and colonists. We should celebrate unification between all peoples. After this harvest feast, everything became hostile between the 2 groups, with betrayal, etc.

@@AlphaMoist for the record, Michael Medved is Jewish, he has no ethnic skin in the game. And here we’re talking about Thanksgiving and the pilgrims, not the whole grand tragedy of the American colonization. It’s a great story.
Actually, it's almost universal that depictions of earlier clothing is historically inaccurate. I can't tell you the number of times that poorly attired Roman Soldiers have ruined my enjoyment of a movie or game. I am telling you, being a history buff is a curse. I can't seem to enjoy anything without half my brain breaking the immersion, reminding me of sloppy historical inaccuracies.
Jacob. Trajan's column is an excellent resource, and so are many other artifacts of that time period. Thank God for Roman re-enactors who are meticulous in researching and re-creating Roman-era clothing. Hollywood needs to hire more Roman re-enactors.
Thanks for the short yet informative video. Nothing will bury the truth. Lots of history revisionist try to erase and rewrite your beautiful. Keep up the good work..
The following is what George Washington wrote about Thanksgiving. I do not think he would recognize the United States as it is today. And that is not a compliment. "By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation." "Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and-Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me 'to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:'" "Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favor, able interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us." "And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best." "Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789." George Washington
Thank you so much for that! Thanksgiving is a long way off, but I intend to read this to my family each year going forward, as it so thoroughly encapsulates what the celebration is all about. It is very specific to make the day about giving thanks where it belongs, to GOD as a nation, given by our president and founder. A day of thanks AND PRAYER...wow!
Thanks Again Prager U, for yet another insightful, correctly factual, video wisdom piece! The masses with minds appreciate your dedication to sharing real knowledge!!! I'm behind you steadfastly!!!!
Macintosh No joke! Clear, and provable from multiple sources of historical significance at any library, or maybe even Wikipedia,.. and other methods of research online
Actually, most of the voyagers were looking for economic opportunity, and when Squanto returned to his village, he was captured by the Wampanoag to be put to use as a translator.

Thank you for making this video! I knew the stories I was hearing about the first Thanksgiving were wrong, but I had forgotten the correct story which I’d heard so many years ago.

Weird how this is where people have to go for the truth. As Ben Shapiro says, "you have to be college educated to be that stupid." And these people are teaching our kids....
Hardships of the Pilgrims: • Ship mechanical failures • Deserters • Demoralization • Ship overcrowding • Bad ship smell • Storms • Navigational setbacks • Death at sea • Landing failures • Smallpox danger from prior settlers • Survival uncertainty • Starvation • Sickness • Semi-annihilation • Harsh winter weather • Loss of childbearing women Remember in the movie "John Q.", Denzel Washington says, "I am not going to bury my son! My is going to bury me!" The Pilgrims probably had many fathers who experienced the devastation of burying their sons.

1. idk about the cameras in microwaves installed by obama one, therefore im not gonna say much else on that topic
2. "the electons being "rigged by the Democrats" (until Trump won of course)
that one has flaws. first of all, in the wikileaks, hillary took the election from bernie. was it right? nope. she would've had the presidential elections too if it weren't for a woke populace and donald trump.
secondly, both parties are guilty of corruption on many fronts, the democratic party seems to be the most corrupt party recently.
3. "Obama born in Kenya" yes, he was born in Kenya, and not hawaii like his trumped up birth certificate says, which has so many font changes, compared to others during the same timeframe, makes obamas look like a outright fake. at least malik obama produced something more creditable.
4. "the "Bowling Green Massacre""
i haven't heard anything about that one either, and im not gonna say much on it without knowledge of what happened.
I've been blogging for 25 years, your youth and lack of experience is the simplicity and complicity you are BLIND too! Nice try Junior!
T. van rossum malik obama tweeted it out back in march, i suggest you go find it.
wendef ung isn't that exactly what happened in nazi germany back in the 1930s? the media back then would nit pick stuff and claim a bunch of bull. its the same with communist USSR and now state run media like in north korea do the same exact shit. nit pick stuff and claim a bunch of bull.
The story of Squanto is actually even more incredible. He got captured by an English Captain, crossed the Atlantic, went back, got captured by the Spanish, got freed, want to England, crossed the Atlantic, went back to England since he was too far from his home to walk and then finally he got back.
Ps the first thing the natives did with the pilgrims on the may flower was ask for beer...
True. But he actually was a slave the whole time. He was working on a deck in england when the colonists snatched him up.
The pilgrims were right to give thanks. Even though about half survived. That was in itself a miracle. And so was the story of Squanto. It would be unbelievable if it were not true.
My ancestors were at the first thanksgiving.
DubCO mine too!.
Nice
I think mine as well were there.
For the record they were Jon and Priscilla Alden. I believe the last name is correct buy I'd have to double check.

Honestly this vid would have been amazing if he had started out by saying "Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude not guilt"

Thanksgiving seems to be one of the days where we can legitimately celebrate different peoples working together. That’s a beautiful thing. Of course there are lots of bad stories too but why celebrate those?
The only thing I would consider false in this, is that somewhat hilariously, the Local Natives thought the settling Pilgrims had decided to declare war, and as such charged in, ready for battle, only to find that their allies were just target shooting. And, as a sign of good faith brought the hunting prize. And on the first day or so it was primarily seafood like lobster. THAT is the only point of contention I would raise.
Happy Thanksgiving and God bless everyone let us all remember to thank God for all of our blessings for that is what this day is for to thank god without him we are nothing let's never forget that
Yes, exactly! Our church and ministry have talked about the true historical thanksgiving. In fact I just did a video on thanksgiving. Not on the first one but in general historically how it was, like that it wasn't just one day out of the year. Thanks for making this video!
Omg there is like 500000 different stories I swear I can’t even believe anyone
I heard it was us celebrating an alliance with a certain tribe or group of Native Americans that we helped to kill some of their rivals
You better listen not the stories but the facts from the native people.I bet you won't get anymore legit facts than theirs.
@@raideepu4 Considering they didn't have written language, I doubt it.
Believe God!
No, there is one story. It's written in first hand sources from Edward Winslow and William Bradford. There was another Thanksgiving Feast 16 years later to honor victory in the Pequot War (which climaxed with the Mystic Massacre) which people use to trick others into believing Thanksgiving celebrates genocide. But even that war was a war between Natives that the pilgrims simply got involved in, so to call it racist is completely logiphobic.
Smallpox came from Europe, it wasn’t originally from America... I wonder where they got the smallpox from.
These diseases came from Animals. It was evolution. Animal diseases where Europeans built up a resistance. It has happened the other way around. Europeans have been killed by disease they did not have exposure to also.
chris fromm if it came from animals then why hadn’t the native Americans built up a resistance to the disease as they had similar animals in America and Europe. Humans aren’t so biologically different that one race can build up an immunity while another race can’t, all races have the exact same immune system function.
chris fromm the diseases that Europeans died from were dysentery and cholera, nothing animal related
Case 1: I am talking about the Europeans that tried to settle central Africa unsucessfully. There where diseases they had not built a resistance towards. Case 2: Incorrect,native Americans did not have similar animals. Only South Americans had the llama and alpaca. Cows, goats and pigs where first introduced by the Spanish.
Europeans had lived often without them. Sometimes in their house. When the old and new world met, they had not built up resistance. The Europenas had died from these diseases a thousand years before in masses, the survivors had a resistance. You have Asian, polynesian, and Natives that still can not digest cows milk easily.
MR BlackandWhite
Read "Germs, Guns, and Steel". The book attempts to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others, while arguing against the idea that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral, or inherent genetic superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate primarily in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops.
I love Thanksgiving, The Food, The Dallas Cowboys, and Giving Thanks for All we got. I learned about the Pilgrims in School like everyone did, But a few years ago I read that the first Thanksgiving in North America Happened about 20 years earlier on the Banks of The Rio Grand near the Town of San Elizario, Texas with Spanish Troops Led by Juan De Onate and their Families and some Local Indians

There were more Indians than Pilgrims that attended the first Thanksgiving.
04:04 there ya go lol
I was taught in school that the first Thanksgiving did not have turkey. 😳 Who else remembers this from history classes? 😂
The written record states "fowl'--it could have been turkey, duck, goose, etc. or combination sounds likely since they used that general term.
Well, can’t wait to tell my friends about this little gem, Also; good luck on the sue of Google, they are crafty

Thanksgiving is a time of thanks to God, for family, food, and all other good things in Life. The pilgrims didn't do bad but others did. We mustn't forget that.
Thanks to Prager Univ for the excellent rebuttal to the statement endorsed by my Seattle School District. Plenty of revisionist history material here!
Hang on don’t get it twisted. It’s “PragerU”. It’s *not* a university. It’s just a TH-cam channel.
I'm thankful to live in America.🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
Thank you, Prager U. Thank you so much. I almost cried watching this. I am going to celebrate my thanksgiving holiday to the utmost from now on, Praise God.
Awesome video! Well done! I will add that the phrase “fascination with guns” is based on a 21st century perspective. It’s paramount to saying that the Spartans had a fascination with the spear. The gun was an essential tool for survival and proficiency in its use was critical.
And Native Americans didn't have them yet. Massasoit's people used the bow and arrow; to great effect, I might add.
My son played Squanto in a Thanksgiving play at his elementary school when he was just a child. Oh the memories. 😀
Thank you for helping enlighten truth about history.
Excellent video! Thank you for making this Prager. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Psalm 92:1
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High
Wow thank you so much for this. I have learned so much, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!🦃🙏💛
This video is suppressing truth. Thanksgiving is indeed a day of mourning. The pilgrims ruthlessly murdered countless natives on that day. You can't ignore that like this video blatantly did.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to reflect on the blessings that we have experienced. This was an excellent video!
like giving blankets full of smallpox to kill all the brown people, or did prager not add that?
No, Prager doesn't push false narratives, like you do, Alec. While you pretend isolated incidents tell the story, most native victims of smallpox didn't get it from intentionally infecting blankets.
Look up jeffery Amherst
Stop calling people derogatory terms poon.
The most famous of genocides that was turned into a family-friendly holiday is obviously Thanksgiving. The day that we reserve for stuffing ourselves with our family around a lush tablesetting is a day that grew out of a truly horrific event in American history.
In 1637, after discovering the dead body of a white man, settlers armed themselves and set a Pequot village on fire. Anyone that managed to escape, including children, was systematically hunted down and killed. The name "Thanksgiving" allegedly comes from a speech that the governor of Bay Colony gave afterwards, referring to the day as: "A day of thanksgiving. Thanking God that [the settlers] had eliminated over 700 men, women, and children."
This is probably one of your best videos PragerU! 👏👏👏
Keep up the good fight!
Thank you for sharing. I knew some about Thanksgiving, but I learned some new information from this post. Some people are going to believe what they want to and you can't change that. It is like the old saying, "Some people will argue with a signpost."
Michael Medved is always honest and spot on with his research. Anyone who chooses to mourn on a day that we all recognize as "Thanksgiving" needs some serious counseling . . .
Thank you. Well said! Original, source documents will always shine the Light of Truth, revealing dark lies for what they really are. America's early settlers were righteous, not perfect, people.
Thank you.
I'm thankful...for Prager U. :)
Thank you. It is so refreshing to have truth available to see.
I wish Prager University would publish a brief bibliography for follow up reading to each of their videos.
Yeah, then you could actually see that the "truth" that this "university" is preaching is actually a web of lies that has been woven over years of denial of history. Thanksgiving is a day of mourning. You can read John Winthrop's own words describing how the slaughter happened and how he wanted Thanksgiving to become a day of thanking god that he was able to murder them all.
@@zucchini_flowers took me about three minutes in this thread to find someone who made sense and thought critically. Thank you
I'm grateful to see Michael Medved again! It's been a while since i've seen him in something. Thanks, Prager U.
Interesting story. I love Thanksgiving because it’s giving thanks to others
"Oh no! Our son has become DUTCH!!!" D:
The natives were then murdered by those same people they helped. The Europeans showed no mercy even to children, elderly, and pregnant women in the very first Thanksgiving dinner.
This is roughly what I was taught in public school.

@@cynthiacook1646 oh and having a whole colony relocating again after less then a decade, yeah they were fleeing, colonizers failed because they were weak so they took advantage of the Native hospitality - hence the term.
Friends, I just came home from visiting Foxwoods' Pequot Museum and in 1636 there was a Pequot war that killed at least 600 native Americans. Further, let me quote Brittanica:
"Pequot War, war fought in 1636-37 by the Pequot people against a coalition of English settlers from the Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and Saybrook colonies and their Native American allies (including the Narragansett and Mohegan) that eliminated the Pequot as an impediment to English colonization of southern New England. It was an especially brutal war and the first sustained conflict between Native Americans and Europeans in northeastern North America"
This war was a massacre. There were around 16,000 Pequots initially and by 1972 there were just 21!
Friends, I encourage you to do your own research and you will find out that true history is a lot different than the nice views we have learned growing up. Much different.
This tiny time frame was a rare peaceful time between natives and colonists. We should celebrate unification between all peoples. After this harvest feast, everything became hostile between the 2 groups, with betrayal, etc.
Mark Washington Yep. Let’s celebrate that! Let’s call it “Thanksgiving”!
PragerU gives everyone the opportunity to consider alternate views because many of us are open minded individuals who want to learn more.

Sources are listed either there or in the study guide so people can post knowledgeable comments to help add to the dialogue; thoughtful comments are always welcomed.

I am displeased that the depiction of the Wampanoags as Plains Indians. Tisk tisk.
skrv yeah that is honestly a pretty weird incongruency, not sure why they did that.
Same with the incorrect representations of the Pilgrims' attire.
Actually, it's almost universal that depictions of earlier clothing is historically inaccurate. I can't tell you the number of times that poorly attired Roman Soldiers have ruined my enjoyment of a movie or game. I am telling you, being a history buff is a curse. I can't seem to enjoy anything without half my brain breaking the immersion, reminding me of sloppy historical inaccuracies.
But don't we know what they wore from things like Trajan's victory column?
Jacob. Trajan's column is an excellent resource, and so are many other artifacts of that time period. Thank God for Roman re-enactors who are meticulous in researching and re-creating Roman-era clothing. Hollywood needs to hire more Roman re-enactors.
Thanks for the short yet informative video. Nothing will bury the truth. Lots of history revisionist try to erase and rewrite your beautiful. Keep up the good work..
The following is what George Washington wrote about Thanksgiving.
I do not think he would recognize the United States as it is today.
And that is not a compliment.
"By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation."
"Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and-Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me 'to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:'"
"Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favor, able interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us."
"And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best."
"Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789."
George Washington
The Founders were true and faithful visionaries.
Thank you so much for that! Thanksgiving is a long way off, but I intend to read this to my family each year going forward, as it so thoroughly encapsulates what the celebration is all about. It is very specific to make the day about giving thanks where it belongs, to GOD as a nation, given by our president and founder. A day of thanks AND PRAYER...wow!

Weird how this is where people have to go for the truth. As Ben Shapiro says, "you have to be college educated to be that stupid." And these people are teaching our kids....
Hardships of the Pilgrims:
• Ship mechanical failures
• Deserters
• Demoralization
• Ship overcrowding
• Bad ship smell
• Storms
• Navigational setbacks
• Death at sea
• Landing failures
• Smallpox danger from prior settlers
• Survival uncertainty
• Starvation
• Sickness
• Semi-annihilation
• Harsh winter weather
• Loss of childbearing women
Remember in the movie "John Q.", Denzel Washington says, "I am not going to bury my son! My is going to bury me!"
The Pilgrims probably had many fathers who experienced the devastation of burying their sons.
Squanto's story has some parallels to the story of Joseph in the Bible :))
