Question

Lynching was carried out by which group?

Answer 1

Lynching in the United States was predominantly carried out by white vigilante groups, often involving members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations. These acts were typically directed against African Americans and other marginalized groups, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as a means of enforcing racial control and social order. Lynching was commonly justified by unfounded accusations, often rooted in racial prejudice, and was used as a tool of terror to maintain white supremacy.
