The Dark History of the First Thanksgiving: Cannibals, Colonists, and Rat Pee
Manage episode 521411976 series 2574146
Forget the Hallmark version — the first Thanksgiving wasn’t cute, cozy, or even particularly grateful.
In this episode, we break down the real story behind the 1621 feast: the Pilgrims who knew nothing and learned even less, the Jamestown colonists who literally ate each other, and the kidnapped survivor — Squanto, who held an entire colony together.
Enjoy this tale of useless assholes, entitlement and why empathy can be a deadly mistake.
Pull up a chair — it’s about to get historically unhinged.
