Would seem that something specific is trying to be voiced by manipulating the data, but I give the benefit of the doubt that maybe that those are the only years with records and the other states had so few as to be negligible.

It was an uncommon extrajudicial punishment encouraged by lax justice from politically motivated courts. Like today. Still, I had no idea the numbers were so low. 4,000 deaths in three quarters of a century in a country that big? That’s the bodycount for a few months in the “inner cities” post-Ferguson. At least it explains the obsession for Emmett Till and all the movies, documentaries and media references – the pool of available martyrs was low.
