Thanksgiving Was Born From America’s Struggles

Norman Rockwell’s painting “Freedom From Want” is perhaps the most famous artistic depiction of an American Thanksgiving, showing a family joyfully gathered round an enormous turkey.

Equally notable is the tranquility of the family gathering.

This year, it’s easy to wonder if Rockwell’s Thanksgiving has any relevance to our own.

Soaring inflation has made big dinners less easy to afford, and many family gatherings will feature acrimonious discussions about the state of the country.
