  1. A little history, lynching was named for British land manager in Ireland who executed people without courts. It was the common way of enforcing some form of law on the frontier where the law either had no formal presence. Small ranchers and farmers couldn't go hundreds of miles to set in a court room while a trial took place. Lynching slowed once laws were enforced locally with courts that were close enough for witnesses to attend. Was it used racially as well, and that was wrong, but it isn't only racism.

  2. The historian is right. Perhaps December 6th should be the holiday.
