according to the NY Tribune, every lampost was "decorated with a swinging body".

Ah, once again, watie conflates hyperbole with statistic.

Reliable statistics show somewhere between 100 and 120 killed in the New York draft riots. The vast majority of those were members of the mob shot by police and soldiers. The numbers of blacks murdered is somewhere about a dozen.

The absolute outer limit of estimated dead is about 1000, but most sources discount that as Radical Republican hyperbole. You do realize, of course, that the New York Tribune you cite was the newspaper of Horace Greeley, don't you? Are you sure you want to cite him as a reliable source? Can I then use him as a reliable source for other things?

That's the consensus from numerous sources. If you've got something else that involves actual numbers, put it up, but I know you won't. Instead you'll just continue to spout the usual bizarrely capitalized tirades about DAMNYANKEES and SOUTHERN FREEDOM.

And for the record, the number of blacks lynched between 1882 and 1968 is reliably put at 3446. If you want, I can post lots of pictures.

How many black men were lynched in the south by numerous 'sons' of Confederates?

Back to the original question. Of 3446 lynchings you stated, how many are directly related to SCVs?

go argue with the writer from the NY TRIBUNE of the following day. he was there;you were NOT.

damnyankess & damnyankee apologists wouldn't know the TRUTH if you handed them a bushel.

i've found that damnyankees are devided into 2 groups:

1. the ignorant &

2. the KNOWING liars.

i can't decide which are worse.
