家园 【原创】历史漫谈——不知“感恩”的感恩节 首先，感恩节不是大多数西方国家的传统节日，它只是美国一家的传统节日。
其次，感恩节感谢的其实不是上帝，而美国人应该善待而没有善待的美国人的恩主——北美原住民“印第安人”。
西元1620年，乘“五月花号”来到北美的第一批英国新教徒移民，经历了一个严酷的寒冬，他们人地两生，饥寒交迫，大半的人没能活过到达美洲的第一个冬天。活下来的人在当地原住民“印第安人”的教导下学会种植玉米、打鱼，迎来了1621年的大丰收，为了感谢恩主原住民“印第安人”的帮助，所以邀请当地的原住民“印第安人”来参加他们的庆祝丰收的宴会。以后到来的移民延袭了这个传统，每年都会举行宴会，就形成了后来的感恩节。可是后来的美国人却不愿意承认他们的祖先是受到北美原住民“印第安人”的帮助下才在这块土地上站住脚的，他们把感恩节解释为感谢上帝赐与他们这块土地和食物。在每年11月的第四个星期四，美国人都要一家团聚，吃一餐丰富的感恩节大餐，还要举办感恩节大游行等活动。可感恩节真正应该感激的北美原住民“印第安人”却被这些忘恩负义、恩将仇报的美国人屠杀殆尽，残余的也被赶进了保留地。
事到如今，不知感恩的美国人每年都过感恩节，可感恩节中缺少了主角……
家园 忽然发现这和以色列人“流奶与蜜的土地”相似 杀进去，夺取那块流奶于蜜的土地，那是上帝赐予你们的。
给我杀啊，一上帝的名义。
后来纳粹杀犹太人，也是以上帝的名义。
哈里路亚，今天是圣诞节。
家园 另一个版本 1621年
When the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian. The Indians name was Squanto. He not only survived slavery in England but, he learned the English language so, Squanto was able to communicate with the English and Indians. Squanto taught pilgrims to grow corn and to fish. Squanto negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags. That was the only documented time of pilgrims and Indians sitting together for a feast! That was not thanksgiving and is not a holiday celebrated by anyone!从资料上看，这次宴会算是一次缔结和平协定后的外交宴会。
1637年
In 1637 about 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival. That is what they call our Thanksgiving celebration. In the early morning hours the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries. It is said they then ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot and clubbed to death. Indian women and children were burned alive inside their Teepees as they huddled together in fear. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because about 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered.从这里看，Pequot部落的印第安人有自己传统的收获感谢日，白人在当天成功突击了这个部落后，引为自己的感恩节。
