Mostly it was a prolonged period of torture followed by death. Collecting body parts was very popular. Change purses and such! Quite fashionable.
Thousands of men and women.

WWII veterans were also lynched!!!!!!!!!

This is some of the American history the right does not want us to teach. I know I was never taught this history in school.

Yet these ignorant fucks still want to celebrate the civil war they lost. Do keep in mind we will kick your ignorant asses again!!!!
Bring it, I am tired of the southern cold war.

Rantings from a pissed old man.
