Black Friday
During President Grant's administration two men named Jim Fisk and Jay Gould gained control of the gold market in New York (Gould got the gold, am i the only one?) .Anyway, they convinced Grant to stop selling government gold and they were able to sell their gold a pretty good profit. President Grant realized what was happening so he sold a LOT of gold. That resulted in a economic panic. September 24 1869 became known as Black Friday.
