For all of you talking about Thanksgiving, did you know that in the olden days the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) people would go and sell their slaves. Think of it like transfer deadline (if American football has). So the day after they celebrate how great the harvest was or whatever they sold their slaves because Americans are nuts.
While America wasn't the only country to own and sell slaves, they were indeed the first to ban slavery. Remember most slaves were and are sold by their own people. I'll add that's not what black Friday is about or how it came about either.
Hi, it appears I was completely wrong about Black Friday as it appears to represent the large amount of pedestrian and vehicle traffic causing a lot of accidents.
How important is Thanksgiving to you?
