Black Friday in Finance

Before our winter vacation last December, our professor told us to write a paper about the Black Friday incident in history. As I was searching the internet, I thought that the black friday my professor wants us to do research on is the Black Friday of United States. In US, when people say black friday that means a day of shopping after thanksgiving day. Shopping is related to finance and business also that's why I thought I got the right materials for my paper. When the submission of our paper came, my professor got angry at me and reprimanded me for doing poor in research. He then explained that Black Friday in finance means the September 24, 1869 incident or the Fisk-Gould Scandal. This referred to the gold market cornering of two spectators.
