Historical Context

The term "Black Friday" originated in the 19th century, initially linked to financial crises. By 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's change of Thanksgiving's date extended the Christmas shopping season. In the 1980s, retailers popularized Black Friday as a day for significant discounts, leading to a consumer expectation for early holiday deals, which continues to reshape shopping habits today.
