The Year was 1637....700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe, gathered for their "Annual Green Corn Dance" in the area that is now know as Groton, Conn.
While they were gathered in this place of meeting, they were surrounded and attacked by mercenaries of the English and Dutch. The Indians were ordered from the building and as they came forth, they were shot down. The rest were burned alive in the building.
The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts bay Colony declared: "A day of Thanksgiving, thanking God that they had eliminated over 700 men, women, and children. For the next 100 years, every "Thanksgiving Day" ordained by a Governor or president was to honor that
victory, thanking God that the battle had been won. |
