    It is a colonial thing, different from the European harvest feasts. It celebrates not only the harvest, but also the survival in a new and often hostile environment.

    Next to the English, the French and Spanish settlers also held similar celebrations.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I kinda guessed it would be because of a link with the harvest.
