Lynching

Lynching is illegal murder of someone by a person or a group of people. It can be done in many ways, such as hanging, beating up or even burning the residence of a person. Lynching was done in the movie "Missisippi Burning" by the Ku Klux Klan(KKK) whom wanted to get rid of the Blacks who talked to the FBI, as they did not want the FBI to find three Civil Rights activists, whom they had taken away. Lynching is generally not condoned, but in the case of the KKK(they mostly killed by fire), the court, after some arsonists were caught, were very lenient towards them as the jury were made up od only whites, and they were very racist then.
