A couple years later, Kieft ordered the massacre of the Wappingers, a friendly tribe. Eighty were killed and their severed heads were kicked like soccer balls down the streets of Manhattan. One captive was castrated, skinned alive and forced to eat his own flesh while the Dutch governor watched and laughed. Then Kieft hired the notorious Underhill who had commanded in the Pequot war to carry out a similar massacre near Stamford, Connecticut. The village was set fire, and 500 Indian residents were put to the sword. A day of thanksgiving was proclaimed in the churches of Manhattan. As we will see, the European colonists declared Thanksgiving Days to celebrate mass murder more often than they did for harvest and friendship. Thanksgiving in the Manhattan Colony

It certainly helps to be thankful, but I can't stand those "official story"-style holidays. Columbus Day was always the worst for me. The dude was a slave trader and a torturer. Shouldn't get you a holiday in my book. Nice article Candice. It certainly helps to be thankful, but I can’t stand those “official story”-style holidays.
