Where was the REAL First Thanksgiving in the present-day United States? Where was the first Representative Assembly in the Western Hemisphere? Where was the last major battle of the Revolution? Where was the first large land battle of the Civil War? And the last? Who was Wilmer McLean? Carter Braxton? Nancy Langhorne? William Fleming? Billy Mahone? Adam Thoroughgood?
