  Interesting... but is that a reliable source?  The site seems...
shall we say... somewhat biased.  Can you cite another source -- one
that isn't explicitly trying to push laissez-faire economics -- that
"the first Thanksgiving" really had anything to do with that?

  I've seen other (equally dubious) sources that assert it was
explicitly, by design, before the first one even happened, to be a day
of thanks to God that they (the colonists) made the journey safely,
blah blah blah.
