Abstract:
North Carolinians celebrated the first Thanksgiving on September 22, 1712. The date was chosen to remember the Tuscarora massacre. This event happened on the same date in 1711 when a Tuscarora attack provoked settlers who retaliated and decimated the Tuscarora tribe around the Pamlico Sound.
