Black Friday was the Great Depression in America at the Wall Street Crash when the Stock Market crashed. So technically, yes.
Answer: The term as currently used in the United States refers to the day after Thanksgiving. The biggest shopping day of the year, merchants traditionally can go from being "in the red"--having a deficit--to being "in the black"--showing a profit. Since Thanksgiving is always a Thursday, retailers refer to this as "Black Friday." Is it a shopping day? Heck, yes. Many retailers open at ridiculously early hours (4 am, for example) with amazing sales. The catch is that there are a limited number of those items available. The early shoppers get the best deals.
The actual day - Black Friday - applies to the entire day. However, not every deal or sale lasts all day. In fact, many deals are "door busters," which means they only last a few hours in the morning.
No, although many people have the day off from work, due to the long Thanksgiving weekend. Black Friday is just a blow-out shopping day.
Black Friday can continue on to Saturday or even Sunday. Hope this helped you!

Strange how Friday's seem to get extra attention. Black Friday refers to the shopping holiday, thanks in part to retailers, going "black" in accounting terms (meaning they now make profit for the holiday season on the much celebrated shopping day). Friday the 13th was made popular by the horror movie series, but was named that due to the #13 being considered bad luck.
