Lynching is a touchy subject of American history that most don't like to talk about. To some its considered a form of capital punishment, to others it is not. I do not believe that it is a form of capital punishment because of the way it was carried out. Most of the people who were sentenced to lynching were African Americans and they were not tried during the court systems. Because of this, I do not feel as though lynching was ever a form of capital punishment.
