Total lynchings of blacks, 1882-1968: 3,446 (of whites: 1,297)

2013, total homicides of blacks by blacks: 2,245. So, the total number of lynchings of blacks over 86 years is matched by 18 months of black-on-black homicides.

The liberal assumption is that all lynchings of blacks were for no reason, rather than extra-judicial executions of people caught in the act.

All of these you listed were after the Civil War, which means they happened under the Union Flag. Prior to the Civil war, most Northern states simply sold any blacks they found "down the river" into slavery.

Lincoln himself was an officer in an organization dedicated to deporting blacks back to Africa or Brazil. Up to the Civil War, Illinois had laws preventing blacks from living in their state.
