The earliest southern U.S. state to adopt Thanksgiving in 1855 was Virginia. Though Thanksgiving began as a New England practice based upon Positivistic custom, it eventually spread throughout the country. Virginia marked an important milestone toward extending this celebration throughout the South, which did not hold the holiday in high esteem during this period. This brought regional traditions together and contributed to Thanksgiving as a national unifying holiday especially after President Abraham Lincoln made the proclamation in 1863.
