  3. I really liked the video. I learned lots of new things. I've always wanted to know how many passengers were on the Mayflower, and now I know there is 102. I also didn't know that Thanksgiving wasn't an official holiday until 1941.

  6. I didn't know that Thanksgiving wasn't a holiday until 1941. I thought that Honest Abe made it an official holiday when he was president.
