The Civil War and the immigration surge of the 1800s are two historical events that contributed to Thanksgiving's popularity in the United States. Cultural leaders later used Thanksgiving as a chance to welcome newcomers, a sentiment echoed by President Lincoln, who urged Americans to celebrate the holiday in a spirit of reconciliation despite the war.
