There was a show on the History Channel Wednesday evening about the FORMAL origins of the holiday. Congress formally established the holiday and it has a LOT more to do with post Civil War (War 'Tween da States, War of States Rights, War of Secession, Second War of Independence, whatever) reconcilliations than Pilgrims......I recommend it as a must watch if you see it scheduled again......G I have to recommend AGAINST watching the Revisionist History Channel as much as possible......Jake

Come on Jake, its not all evil empire stuff (I usually dont watch HC) . This one was in line with others sources that I have heard/read, and was basically in line with them. Which was why I gave it a recommendation.
I do believe that history REQUIRES continual exploration however, because there is ample evidence that the complete story is NEVER told by one source.
