President Abraham Lincoln began our Thanksgiving holiday tradition during the depths of our War Between the States in 1863, just months after Gettysburg. Hope trumps fear, even the depths of division.
While Washington offered a Thanksgiving proclamation, you are right that Abraham Lincoln established Thanksgiving as an annual holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
