Thanksgiving in the Books

This is sugapuff7, writing this now before it's too late....

Many Americans may think that the first Thanksgiving was in... umm... Massachusetts? Right? Right? WRONG! Well, at least my teacher said it's wrong, but she drinks a little too much coffee. She said it was in Virginia (note to self: tell Mom to move away from Virginia... too much history) more precisely in Jamestown. (The first permanent English settlement in North America if I remember correctly....)

So, you ask, why don't the textbooks say this??? Well, many of them don't want to realize that facts change, and they must find new facts that replace the old ones. Okay... I usually start getting hyper for no reason around this time, so I better go before I rot your minds with my rambling on and on.

This is sugapuff7, saying, "Once we find Atlantis, we really should change our textbooks!"
