It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father Who dwelleth in the heavens.
Abraham Lincoln's
Thanksgiving Proclamation
October 3, 1863
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
~Abraham Lincoln
