(My Version) - Proposed - the Best 17Th Century Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Louisiana Black Cooks: First Thanksgiving and Christmas Emanuel Cookbook

By Sharon Kaye Hunt R.D.

The main purpose of Book 7 is to propose that slaves, ex-slaves and Free Blacks may have celebrated their First Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners before 1621 in five territories that later became states. The Africans that were recorded living in the areas were either purchased by slave traders, escaped slaves or African explorers. The five areas that later become states were Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Louisiana.

Inventions and patents by Africans and African-Americans are included.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The name of the cookbook-(My Version) Proposed the Best 17th Century Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Louisiana Black Cooks’ First Thanksgiving and Christmas Emanuel Cookbook. The Cookbook is centered around what slaves may have prepared for their menus and how they may have prepared their meals -the cookbook is divided into five parts-Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Louisiana. These states grouped together because black people were said to be a part of the states in the 1600s.

Each part is divided into proposed food source, information about the states, pre and post emancipation of slavery reviews, regions of the state and biblical scriptures.

III. Pre- and Post Emancipation Slavery Reviews:

NATIVE AMERICANS IN DELAWARE AND OTHER PERSONS OF COLOR IN DELAWARE TERRITORY

Before Delaware was settled by European colonists the area was home to the Eastern Algonquins tribes:

Iroquoean tribes, Kuskarawock and Tockwogh Iroquois.

Unamb Lenape or Delaware Indians were said to not relocate out of the state after war. Some of them were baptized and became Christians and were grouped together with the other person of color in effects records and in the minds their non Native American neighbors. These other persons of color could have been run-away slaves and Free born Blacks who had never been slaves.
