In this last full joyous year We have found meat in abundance, All our corn is in the ear. Plenty hath been uouchsafed to us. So it is in full accord That we should with glad rejoicing Show thanksgiving to the Lord. So spake Bradfordg and the elders To his wisdom all agreed, Called a meeting of the Pilgrims, Told their comrades of their need. So in Plymouth all the housewives And demure young maidens, too, Were set baking for the banquet All the good things that they knew. From the fort the four best hunters Did set out with grim intentg Whz'le to the Indian village A swift messenger was sent. So upon one day in autumn There was held this feast so gaywv And this was the beginning Of our Thanksgiving Day. A L' .- r l iw. P fiffzf 5 ' Twenty-eight

Having always fought for home and a living, these pioneers were intoler- ant of any encroachment upon their free- dom. As a result of their continual strug- gle against natural handicaps, they were independent and were loath to relinquish any share of their independence. Neither aid nor interference on the part of the mother country had been given these people in their struggle for a new home, and therefore the colonists expected neither after the country was settled. If anything, they expected encouragement and aid, but such expectations were vain. A vast empire, a pure diamond, had been carved from the rough for England by these people, unencouraged and unaided. After ousting Spain from the colonized sections of North America, the colonists helped England to oust France also. Eng- land had to depend upon the colonists alone as she was too busily engaged with wars in Europe. Throughout the inter- colonial wars, the colonists gave their money and their lives in the struggle against France. During this period they had tested the privileges of independence, had learned to govern themselves, had flirted with liberty. Having for years fought for England, however, the colonies were loath to fight against her, but, if necessary, they would fight the country which had taught them Thirty- to fight, for no restrictions must be placed on their rights and privileges guaranteed them by their charters, nor would any repeal of their charters be allowed without a struggle. Having flirted with liberty, and having enjoyed, in a measure, the pleasure of freedom, they longed for more scope. They had enjoyed their little fling, but they wanted another. Thus it was that when England started to repeal their charters, the colonists were ready to defend them. Stories of the fight to prevent the recall of their charters are still preserved. The story of Charter Oak, in which the Connecticut charter was hidden, is a classic today. Along with the repeal of the colonial charters, England began to enforce the trade laws. Stricter laws were passed and enforcement of them was attempted. The New England Yankee did not like this, his feelings were aroused and he stopped thinking of England as his mother country, and as a friend, but he began to consider England as a tyrant. The New Englander was not alone, the New Yorker and the Virginian stood with him. The North, the middle colonies, and the South all stood together and demanded that they be given their rights as Englishmen and that their interests be protected. They met in Assembly, they petitioned and protested, they threatened and demanded, all to no avail. The only recourse open was to fight, and fight they did. After the darkest hour of night, the dawn of liberty was near. H, W.
