THE BLACK FRIDAY
Consectetur adipiscing elit
The Black Friday comes from the 1950s. This starts the day after Thanksgiving and it is the occasion for American to buy their Christmas gifts. At the origin, the name was given to this day because there were so many people on the road after Thanksgiving that they could not drive.Hence the French expression "Noir de monde".
The origins of Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony coming from England held the first Thanksgiving in 1621. They landed in America on their ship, the Mayflower, in December 1620. Indeed, they decided to leave England in order to practice their religion in peace. Only half of the Pilgrims survived that first winter : many of them died from starvation, cold and sickness. In the automn, a group of Indigenous called the Wampanoag and one in particular named Squanto helped the Pilgrims Fathers learning how to grow crops. That time, the harvest was good and to thank the Indigenous, the Pilgrims invited them to a big feast that lasted 3 days. They called this day "Thanksgiving".
