History

Historical Context

Thanksgiving's evolution in the U.S. began with George Washington's 1789 proclamation. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday to the fourth Thursday in November to extend the Christmas shopping season, a decision met with public backlash. This shift reflects a cultural trend prioritizing family time over consumerism, as seen in modern store closures on Thanksgiving.
