Finally a national day of Thanksgiving At 1863 president Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving.

President Roosevelt tried to change the date. In the 1930’s he tried to slide it forward by a week to extend the Christmas shopping season, but without success.
