Political Trade Secrets: Winning Campaigns | Elections | Politics

Political Trade Secrets: Join us as we explore the surprising history and politics of Thanksgiving—from the Pilgrims and the first feast in 1621, to Lincoln’s proclamation, and FDR's “Franksgiving” folly.

We discuss:

— What the first Thanksgiving was actually like, and how the menu has changed over time

— How presidents, wars, and politics shaped Thanksgiving into the national holiday we know today

— The backstory of Mark's new book, Witness to War: The Story of the Civil War Told By Those Who Lived It

Whether you’re a history buff, or just love a good story behind tradition, this is one you won’t want to miss.

We break down:
