Lynching in the United States

Lynching is a form of violence that involved people, usually a group of people, using force to hurt or kill someone, usually because they disagreed with the person or believed they had done something wrong. It was especially common in the United States during the 1800s and early 1900s. Lynching usually involved the act of killing someone without a trial, which means without a judge or jury deciding if the person was guilty or not. People were often lynched just for being different, like having a different skin color, or for being suspected of a crime. Lynching is wrong and should not be done.
