Origins of Black Friday
The term "Black Friday" has evolved dramatically over time, initially linked to a market crash in 1869 rather than shopping. It began as a chaotic day in Philadelphia, marked by rowdy crowds and police struggles, before retailers rebranded it in the late 1980s to promote holiday sales. The transformation of Black Friday into a shopping phenomenon reflects broader economic trends and consumer behavior, leading to increasingly earlier store openings and elaborate promotions.In this clip
