ragamuffin day formed around 1870, a few years after us president abraham lincoln declared thanksgiving a national holiday. ragamuffin day took place on thanksgiving, and typically involved children going from door to door asking for candy or money. these children were originally dressed in the style of the homeless of new york, with rags and oversized and exaggerated imitations of beggars. in further years, the children dressed as sailors, bandits and disney characters. in the 1930s, the begging tradition was superseded by ragamuffin parades, a predecessor of thanksgiving day parades. as halloween became popular after the great depression, ragamuffin events became less popular, however children continued the traditions into the 1940s.
