George Washington - Thanksgiving
Time: Friday Nov 27, 1789
Place: Federal Hall, New York, U.S.
Details: Washington proclaimed November 26 as a day of Thanksgiving in order to encourage national unity. "It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." He spent that day fasting and visiting debtors in prison to provide them with food and beer.
