This happened when a ship named the Mayflower left Plymouth England . These passengers were seeking a new home after many days of searching they dropped anchor at Massachusetts Bay . After long suffering due to the lack of resources a Abenaki Indian greeted them to English . The indians helped them and taught them many things . After the Pilgrims first corn harvest resulted successfully they organized a feast . Then in 1789 George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving by the national government of the United States . New York became one of the first of the several states to officially adopt this holiday as an annual thanksgiving holiday . The american tradition now is to make a wide variety of meals and spend time with your loved ones .
