About Lynching (2864 words)
Although lynchings declined somewhat in the twentieth century, there were still 97 in 1908 (89 fl, 8 white), 83 in the racially troubled postwar year of 1919 (76, 7, plus some 25 race riots), 30 in 1926 (23, 7), and 28 in 1933 (24, 4).
Although lynching was by no means an isolated, aberrant occurrence in the 1920s when the Klan was resurgent or in the 1930s when the depression fueled the hunt for racial as well as political scapegoats, the phenomenon was no longer virulent enough to claim one victim every two to three days.
The effects of lynching are diverse: paralysis, solidarity; and escape, often to ghettos in the North.
Lynching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1609 words)
Lynching is a term loosely applied to various forms of violence, usually murder, conceived by its perpetrators as extra-legal punishment of offenders by a summary procedure, ignoring, or even contrary to, the strict forms of law, notably execution, or used as a terrorist method of enforcing social domination.
Lynch law is frequently prevalent in sparsely settled or frontier districts of the real or a virtual world where government is weak and officers of the law too few and too powerless to enforce law and preserve order, or the law is weak itself.
The term "lynch law" came in to general use as a loosely employed description of efforts to maintain the established order either by the use of actual lynchings against those who would change it, or even their mere threat, which often proved sufficient to silence activists and critics.
