直到1676年6月份才再次宣布感恩节的日期。在那一年的6月20日,查尔斯敦、马萨诸塞管理委员会开会决定如何最好地表达对委员会安全建立这一好运的感恩,他们宣布6月29日为感恩日。值得注意的是这个感恩节庆祝活动可能跟美国土著人没关系。
George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1789. And later, President Thomas Jefferson opposed the idea of having a day of thanksgiving. It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as Thanksgiving. After a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale’s obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.
乔治•华盛顿在1789年确立了“全国感恩节”,后来托马斯•杰斐逊总统反对“感恩节”的这个想法。后来是在杂志编辑Sarah Josepha Hale的努力下,最终确定了我们熟知的感恩节。在努力给政府人士和总统写了40年社论和信之后,Hale的夙愿终于变成了现实。在1863年,林肯总统宣布把11月的最后一个星期四定为全国的感恩节。
The date was changed a couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.
