October 3, 1863
On October 3rd of 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation designating that the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. Most people might not see this as extremely important, but I think it has singlehandedly effected every American. Even if you don't necessarily celebrate it, restaurants and stores are closed that day. Black Friday started because of Thanksgiving, giving people great deals on products to prepare for Christmas. Families everywhere gather and eat a ridiculous amount of food and great (for the most part) times together.
