"Yes it's political as my question is to ask when was lynching legislated as a crime in America. This interlude is a brief respite from current election talk." If I remember correctly, the antilynching law (The Emmett Till Law?) was passed and signed in 2022, but there were earlier attempts going back to the 1910s? | |||

"Yes it's political as my question is to ask when was lynching legislated as a crime in America." Lynching, being a form of murder, has always been illegal in the United States. The 2022 legislation made it a hate crime, which has stiffer penalties than just ordinary murder. | |||

Yep - only 3 bills passed between 1882 and 1968, out of almost 200 introductions...and according to the NAACP, none of those 3 were in the period 1890-1952 (7 president terms). | |||
