Samuel Adams - Thanksgiving Proclamation
"That all the People may with united Hearts on that Day express a just Sense of His unmerited Favors:
--Particularly in that it hath pleased Him, by His over ruling Providence to support us in a just and necessary War for the Defense of our Rights and Liberties;
...by defeating the Councils and evil Designs of our Enemies, and giving us Victory over their Troops
--and by the Continuance of that Union among these States, which by his Blessing, will be their future Strength & Glory."
Samuel Adams on behalf of the Continental Congress, November 3, 1778, calling for a day of Thanksgiving during
the Revolutionary War of the future "United States of America"
