All of the children in the neighborhood would walk house to house in a large group to prevent being kidnapped.

Over time this tradition turned in to today modern “trick or treating”. In the late 1800s, America turned Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighborly get-togethers than about ghosts, and witchcraft.
