The early beginning of the New World (later to become these United States) started with European pilgrims seeking freedom from religious oppression. It was harsh living in those early years in the 17th century. Yet, God provided for them and they celebrated their bounty with the first Thanksgiving in God's honor. These pilgrims were recipients of the spiritual blessings bestowed on Abraham for his faithfulness to God recorded in the Book of Genesis.
