I don't know why you wanna hurt these poor things.
Thank you very much.
The New Holiday
Welcome to the first Thanksgiving.
Can you please stoke the fire, honey.
The Pilgrims journeyed to America on the Mayflower but it wasn't like a cruise. The trip was grueling and harsh, with bad weather and horrible diseases.
The Reason for Jamestown
I cannot believe we didn't find a thing out there today. Hopefully, we'll end up rich.
The Pilgrims were in a very rough spot because they couldn't grow or hunt food. A Native American by the name of Squanto came along and taught them how to do those things.
The Tobacco Botanist
Pilgrims decided that they wanted to create a holiday so they could celebrate their freedom from Britain. On Thanksgiving they shared food with the natives and gathered in their village to celebrate.
The Town's Wealth
This is my new home, and it is magnificent.
The British settled in Jamestown because they wanted gold and riches. Very little of that was found, but they made up for it.
John Rolfe, a plant scientist, traveled to Jamestown for work. He started his work with tobacco and other cash crops.
This looks like the perfect place to start.
The villagers of Jamestown truly profited from Rolfe's work. They were now wealthy and rich beyond measure.
