Rather than a harvest table, this 1755 map shows the British colonies strung along the Atlantic coast, from New England to the Carolinas, with claims reaching inland toward the Ohio country. It was made the year before the French and Indian War formally began, when Britain and France were contesting the same frontier, so the lines on the page carry more weight than their neat appearance suggests. Its place on a Thanksgiving board is a fitting reminder that the holiday's English-settler roots grew out of the colonies it depicts.
