Here are the statistics onLynchings by State from Tuskegee--they don't include the New York Draft Riot lynchings, because the archive's statistics begin in 1882, and the numbers are regarded as conservative--

The statistics are attached to a website concerning Trial of Joseph Shipp which should interest you, BB, because it marks the beginning of the move toward Federalism which has defined our Gov't for the last century. It should be required reading for everyone else, too--like all the links on this page--we'll have a quiz on Friday;-)
