Trivia
The woman behind “Mary Had a Little Lamb” is also responsible for Thanksgiving’s recognition as a national holiday. Writer and editor Sarah Josepha Hale, founder of the American Ladies Magazine, wrote countless articles and letters to persuade the president to recognize the holiday federally. she believed could help unify the Northern and Southern states amid gathering tensions and divisions. Hale kept at it, even after the Civil War broke out, and Lincoln actually wrote the proclamation just a week after her last letter in 1863. (Good Housekeeping)
