Now, many people ask the question that why do we call this day Black Friday? When isn’t it any other color? Similarly, they also ask that why is it held just after thanksgiving, why not any other day.
A brief introduction;
So, no need to panic, all your queries will jump away from your mind reading this article.
To start with, the first thought on it is that the term “Black Friday” was used when the stock market crashed in the year 1869 month of September. There was a big attack on the U.S gold market by the two financiers naming Jay Gould and the other one Jim Fisk. They actually were working to buy all the Gold of the U.S and then, later on, sell it on high prices; So, this conspiracy took place on that Friday leading to a sharp fall in the stock market. Not only this, but they went on bankrupting everyone from rich to poor.
Hence, to mark this day, it was called “Black Friday.”

Other thought on this is,
The retailers in the olden days used to mark the losses in red and the profits in black and so, keeping this thing in mind, you will understand the whole story.
Before thanksgiving, no one did the preparations of Christmas. So, when finally thanksgiving ended, people rushed to the markets on the following Friday. So at last, the shopkeepers listed profits in black after facing losses the whole year. Therefore, they give great discounts and deals on merchandise.
As a consequence, they called this day as Black Friday to express their happiness and cheerfulness.
However, it has been found out that all these stories are totally fake. Here’s the main one;
A great chaos took place in the middle of 1960s in Philadelphia after this thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was celebrated on Thursday and there was an Army – Navy Football that was to be played on the coming Saturday. So the city of Philadelphia was filled with tourists, audiences. As a result, there was a lot of traffic issues, noises everywhere, so the day between these two days, Friday, was a disappointing one for the traffic police as well as the Cab drivers; Not only this that they didn’t had a holiday, but also that these cops had to work double and do all time duty. So they named this day as “Black Friday” to show their pain.
To Sum up, all these stories mixed together and different people look at this day with a different view.
