Eight Thanksgiving myths | from grave robbing & glorifying capitalism to celebrating massacre

This post examines eight major Thanksgiving myths, covering these topics.

  1. The secular festival myth.
  2. The 1623 Thanksgiving myth.
  3. The free market capitalism myth.
  4. The starving Pilgrims myth.
  5. The smallpox death celebration myth.
  6. The theologically motivated Wampanoags myth.
  7. The Pequot massacre celebration myth.
  8. The cannibalism & grave robbing myth.

If you're more interested in watching a video, you can view this same content here.

The only two colonial primary sources of the event, written by Edward Winslow and William Bradford, were lost during the eighteenth century, which contributed to the historical obscurity of the event, and its lack of cultural recognition outside the New England states. I will be drawing on these two primary sources throughout this post, as well as on mainstream scholarly commentary.

The secular festival myth

One common belief is that the 1621 meal was not actually a Christian thanksgiving to God, but was actually a simple meal with which the Pilgrims thanked the local Wampanoag people for helping survive. [1] From a slightly different perspective their 2001 book The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony, James and Patricia Deetz similarly make the claim that since the Winslow account of the 1621 meal “makes no mention of thanks”, it is “not close enough for us to see the event as the “first Thanksgiving”. [2] Instead, they characterize it as an English harvest festival, of no religious significance.

Historian Jeremy Bangs, who has specialized in the study of the Pilgrims, takes issue with this conclusion, considering it badly founded on insufficient evidence. [3] He points out that even if it was a harvest festival, such occasion were certainly not secular, and were accompanied by prayers. He notes that the Book of Common Prayer the Pilgrims would have taken them from England, actually contains a prayer specifically for a harvest thanksgiving. [4]

Additionally, Bangs observes that Winslow’s thanksgiving account “includes biblical phrases referring to texts whose completion includes thanksgiving”, which would certainly have been known by the other members of the community, and recognized as part of the meal’s fundamentally religious character. [5]

Bangs concludes by writing “We think the Pilgrims should have thanked the Indians”, before adding that it is “still inaccurate to bend the evidence to suggest that the P

The Changing Nature of Indian Slavery in New England, 1670–1720

The Changing Nature of Indian Slavery in New England, 1670–1720

https://www.colonialsociety.org/node/1397#ch07

Excerpts:

“Native American slavery and involuntary servitude persisted after 1700, albeit in different forms. Some would-be owners purchased Indians imported from outside the region in order to evade the laws against enslaving local Indians. Most notably, however, the practice of judicial enslavement—the sentencing of Native Americans to long periods of involuntary service to settle debts, as well as civil and criminal penalties—increased dramatically. At the same time, even as they formally recognized the collective rights of free Indians, the New England governments crafted new racially-based tax and legal codes that further eroded the status of Indian servants. In effect, the colonial assemblies created a “race frontier” that stripped unfree people of color—Indian, African, and mixed-race slaves and servants—of certain rights enjoyed by their white counterparts. Thus the experiences of these Indian servants and slaves, and the attitudes of the New Englanders who enslaved them, shed light on both the legal evolution of New World chattel slavery and the emerging definitions of race in early America.

New England armies, courts, and magistrates turned to Indian slavery from the first decade of settlement. Binding Indians simultaneously offered a solution to labor shortages and a means of punishing and controlling local native populations. During the Pequot War, the United Colonies and their Niantic, Narragansett, and Mohegan Indian allies all shared in the war’s human spoils. Victorious generals Israel Stoughton and Samuel Davenport remitted approximately 250 native captives to Connecticut and Massachusetts authorities in June and July of 1637 to “be disposed aboute in the townes” as household servants.4 Not all of the captives remained in New England, however; of the prisoners brought to Boston, Governor John Winthrop noted that seventeen women and children composed part of the cargo on the trading ship that initiated the colony’s much-desired trade with the Atlantic and Caribbean islands.5 By the 1640s, Winthrop was fielding requests from the governor of Bermuda for Indian slaves, and other New Englanders were urging a war against the Narragansetts for the “gaynefull pilladge” of securing Indian workers.6 Already by 1676, then, sales like these had placed Native American workers in households throughout southern New England. Women worked as

Do you know the connection between Narragansett and Woodchuck? A (long, rambling) historical, etymological, story that starts before the beginning of the United States.

I should lead with this: I have no qualifications to talk about any of this, I just heard a part of the story on a podcast^1 and got interested. Large parts of this will be plagiarized quoted from around the internet. I will try to source everything with footnotes.

Woodchuck Hard Cider out of Middlebury, Vermont accounts for nearly half the cider sales in the US and was most recently bought (finalized April 2021) by company Northeast Drinks Group, bringing control of the production back under US-based (and indeed Vermont-based) ownership^2 .

Meanwhile, the Narraganset Brewing Company has had an even more lengthy and dramatic history that eventually ends in it coming home. We all know the story, but the Cliff’s notes version is: founded in RI in 1890, largest New England brewer, bought and sold several times, RI production closed, quality dropped, people stopped buying it. More recently (as in, this century) it was bought and resurrected by RI locals once more, once again supplying good^3 beer. Another decade into the revival, ‘Gansett finally opened a brewing facility in RI once more (for their non-OG Gansett beers at least).

But where does the story start, and how are these brands connected aside from both having New England roots? Well, that lede is still buried for several more paragraphs.

We need to jump back to before written history for the actual beginning of the story, buuuut maybe I’ll just go back as far as Wikipedia takes me.

Before Europeans invaded, the Native Peoples were more culturally linked than the distilled, whitewashed, elementary school education I got; not small, bickering, insular tribes; these Nations shared a common language family from the Rockies to the Eastern Seaboard; Algonquian (or, Algonkian), not to be confused with the Algonquin tribe^4. As with English today, it wasn’t a monolith across the country and had many regional dialects, but it was cohesive enough to allow communication. Within the Algonquian languages, Eastern Algonquian was spoken throughout the new-New England region, by the Massachusett people, the Mohegan-Pequot people, and, yes, the Narragansett people.

Of course, they weren’t the “Narragansett” people; that spelling and [mis]pronunciation came from European settlers hearing the language and attempting to put it into English. Roger Williams, the founder or Rhode Island, learned the spoken Narragansett language and initially spelled the people’s name for themselves “Nanhigganeuck”. As t

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Colonizing the Children: Indian Youngsters in Servitude in Early Rhode Island

Colonizing the Children: Indian Youngsters in Servitude in Early Rhode Island

https://www.colonialsociety.org/node/1399#ch08

Excerpts:

“This essay describes how Indian children in early Rhode Island were colonized through the practice of “pauper apprenticeship,” whereby Anglo-American officials took legal orphans and also children described as “poor,” “bastard,” and “suffering” away from their parents and bound them to more prosperous masters until the children reached adulthood. On the surface, this kind of indentured servitude remedied perceived problems or poverty, bastardy, desertion, and death by raising supposedly vulnerable children in households that Anglo-American authorities considered more “respectable.” But at a deeper level, this coerced servitude, rooted in English poor law, effectively secured the labor of particular youngsters to serve the needs of the community in general and larger property owners in particular. The system also enabled local officials and “respectable” inhabitants to impose their ideal of family organization on others by removing children from “improper” situations and placing them in “proper” households, where they would be maintained during their youth and trained for adulthood in ways deemed appropriate for their race, sex, and class.”

“…pauper apprenticeship was arranged by Anglo-American officials responsible for the poor of the community, and the whole system rested on these officials’ perceptions of “disorder” in the families within their jurisdiction. These perceptions are revealed most clearly in the paper contracts (indentures) that describe the children’s family situations and stipulate the terms of the master-servant relationships into which they were thrust.

Pauper apprenticeship contracts reveal a prejudicial attitude on the part of Anglo-American officials towards those described as other than white, and for this reason it is necessary to evaluate the records in the light of oral tradition generated by the people most affected by the system. Ruth Herndon’s analysis rests on a study of 1,200 indentures written into the Rhode Island town records between 1660 and 1860. The statistics reported below are drawn from a core subset of this body of evidence—some 759 contracts from the period 1750—1800, when pauper apprenticeship was at its height.1 Ella Sekatau’s analysis rests on the oral tradition of the Narragansett tribe, for which she is ethnohistorian, genealogist, medicine woman, and language teacher.

The Shoshone are problematic, and have some very serious issues when it comes to design choice and representation.

The Shoshone are an Frankenstiened native blob civ no better than the "Native Americans" from civ 4. There's a lot wrong with them and I'll go through each UC below.

The Shoshone UA is arguably the most accurate thing about them, but it isn't without problems. The land grabbing bonus is historically okay, the Shoshone people at least if you consider the several rather independent and unique nations of them, did in fact control a lard amount of land, and theyre one of the furthest reaching groups we are aware of pre-contact. It does have problems though. Untapped large stretches of land, that the natives seemingly control but is there for other factions to have to fight, conquer, and "civilise" is a dangerous trope from the expansion west into America. The Shoshone's large stretches of land emphasis this trope, potentially dangerously so and definitely to a point where it outshines more unique and symbolic elements of Shoshobe culture that could have created a more accurate and representational UA. The second part alongside being mechanically boring is also just historically incorrect. Shoshone historically rapidly lost territory even to other American Indian nations, losing bloodily and terribly each time. Maybe this could show their resilience in the face of it, but it doesn't highlight the accomplishments of the peolle only the blood, tears, and what they have lost. It is also an extremely colonial-centric look at the Shoshone, especially compared with the first part of the UA - their bonuses focus around losing territory. This is a problem.

It's the UUs that really suck however. The Comanche rider is the easy one to say something fast about, Comanche aren't Shoshone - sure they share a language group but imagine if France had a "Russian Boyar" UU, or hell if the Shoshone had "Aztec Eagle Warrior" as it's UU - this is the connection. The Shoshone were also not particularly known for their horsemanship skills, seeing as by the time the white colonialists had arrived they were already pushed into the mountains and hills away from the great plains by their American Indian rivals. The Comanche Rider also seems to be based on stereotypes of American Indian "braves" with their warpaint, feathered bonnets, and raiding the settlers way that is seen far too often and pragmatically in our media.

The "Commanche rider" is bad enough but please, let me continue, because it's the Pathfinder that's the real issue. There's no historic connection between a pathfinding

Wojciech Fudali



Birth: August 31, 1986

Disappearance Location: Narragansett, Rhode Island

Disappearance Date: December 6, 2008

Age at time of disappearance: 22

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5'10"-6'0"

Weight: 195-205 pounds

Sex: Male

Race: White

Wojciech Fudali was last seen on Saturday, December 6, 2008 in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Wojciech is from Poland, but grew up in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. He speaks four languages, including English, Polish, Spanish, and German. He graduated from University of Rhode Island in May 2008 with a bachelor's degree in international business.

Wojciech was living with some friends in an apartment in Newport, Rhode Island. He was prescribed anti-anxiety medication shortly before his disappearance, but his roommate said he stopped taking them cold turkey.

According to his friends, Wojciech was acting strange in the days prior to his disappearance and seemed to be having some sort of mental breakdown. His friends also stated he seemed depressed and despondent, but his mother, who spoke with him 3 days before his disappearance, said she didn't notice anything wrong.

His roommate stated that Wojciech became interested in nature and also became very religious. He spent a great deal of time reading the Bible in the days prior to his disappearance. He began under-dressing for the cold weather and would walk around outside without shoes. Temperatures outside on the day Wojciech vanished were about 30 degrees Fahrenheit and he could not have survived very long without clothes.

A week before Wojciech disappeared, police responded to a report of a distraught man walking along the Cliff Walk with a Bible in his hand. When police arrived, they found Wojciech wearing pajamas and no shoes. Officers determined he was fine before leaving the scene.

On December 5, 2008, Wojciech attended a small party at a friend's house in the 70 block of East Shore Road and spent the night. His friends were awaken at 5AM by Wojciech standing naked, hitting himself with a metal pole from a bed frame, saying, "trust me." They did not call police and eventually went back to sleep.

Sometime between 5AM-11:30AM, Wojciech left the residence. When his friends woke up, Wojciech was gone. The clothes he was seen wearing the night before was neatly folded on the floor. He also left behind his sneakers, car keys, cellphone, driv

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I had a vasectomy because I didn’t want any kids.

When I got home, they were still there.

I dislike karma whores who make posts that imply it's their cake day, simply for upvotes.

I won't be doing that today!

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
