Thanksgiving: The Forgotten History of America's Thanksgiving and What It Commemorates

December 14, 2019

On this episode Brian invites Ammo.com’s resident historian, Sam, on to discuss the oldest national holiday in the United States, Thanksgiving. While the celebration predates even the founding of the nation, it was proclaimed by George Washington, then ignored by Thomas Jefferson. Finally, Lincoln made it an official holiday.

Brian and Sam talk about the traditions that lead to Thanksgiving, “Franksgiving,” and what’s up with modern-day Thanksgiving detractors.
