The first term of Black Friday was applied not to a holiday shopping but to financial crisis:specifically, the crash of the U.S gold market on September 24,1869.Two notoriously ruthless Wall Street financiers,Jay Gould and Jim Fisks. They worked together to buy up as much as they could of the nation’s gold.Hoping to drive the price shy high and sell it for astonishing profits.On Friday in September, the conspiracy finally unraveled sending the stock market into free fall and bankrupting everyone from Wall Street barons to farmers.Jay Gould and Jim Fisk made Black Friday by mistake.
