Condizione: New.

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. The Thanksgiving story most Americans learned begins with a feast.The surviving record begins with kidnapping, stolen corn, armed diplomacy, disease, war-and a country that spent centuries rewriting what came next.In 1614, an English captain abducted Tisquantum-later known as Squanto-and carried him across the Atlantic. Six years later, starving Mayflower colonists dug Native corn from buried storage pits on Cape Cod. In 1621, Plymouth settlers and Wampanoag people gathered for the harvest celebration that generations would transform into an American origin story.But that gathering was only the beginning.In THE FEAST BUILT ON GRAVES, Matthew Nichols investigates ten documented episodes that reveal how Thanksgiving was actually made-not in a single peaceful meal, but through survival, diplomacy, colonial expansion, warfare, religion, commerce, political necessity, and national mythmaking.Follow the evidence through:? Tisquantum's kidnapping and extraordinary return to a devastated Patuxet? the armed searches for corn before Plymouth Colony was established? Ousamequin's calculated alliance with the English newcomers? the heavily armed reality behind the 1621 harvest gathering? the Pequot War and the language of providential victory? Metacom, John Sassamon, and the collapse that became King Philip's War? Revolutionary-era thanksgiving proclamations? George Washington and the constitutional argument over a national thanksgiving? Sarah Josepha Hale, Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War creation of the modern holiday? Franklin Roosevelt's controversial "Franksgiving"? and Wamsutta Frank James's 1970 speech that Massachusetts officials would not approveThis is not an argument against gratitude.It is an investigation into the history hidden beneath it.Drawing a sharp line between documented fact, reasonable inference, disputed claims, and national mythology, Nichols reconstructs a Thanksgiving far more complicated-and far more consequential-than the schoolroom pageant.For readers of American history, Native American history, colonial history, historical investigations, and books that challenge familiar national myths, THE FEAST BUILT ON GRAVES asks a simple question:What happens when a country needs the people it conquered to approve the story it tells about itself?That final question comes directly from the central issue your introduction establishes Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 319.…
