Thanksgiving is a holiday where many families have a chance to get together, and that is a good thing, usually. Why cast a cloud over other folk's head regarding a great time of the year for them? My advice (probably unwanted) is to enjoy the positive attitude of your neighbors during the holiday season.
I don't know if the OP's account is historically accurate or not. Without sounding unsympathetic, the reality is that every war has a winner and a loser. It sucks to be the loser, period.
