brutally hanging someone for - what the people doing the lynching considered crimes and offenses... It wasn't always limited to black people. But in America historically, it was used to kill 'uncooperative' slaves and those helping slaves, During Reconstruction, the Ku Klux Klan and other racist used lynching as a means to go against the new government that give black people false imaginary freedom, and to terrorize the black community. It was also used to enforce Jim Crow laws, and to control blacks after reconstruction. A few other countries also used this as punishment and still do. The US government recently apologized for the Senate’s failure to enact federal anti-lynching legislation during the first part of the 20th century. Less than 1% of racial lynchings were ever punished or ever went to trail.

Trick question.
Hanging results in the individual being strangled to death. Note that for many years the desired results were to strangle the individual. In modern times, hanging results in breaking the neck and paralyzing the victim, then strangling them.

Lynching took many forms of punishment. Basically the "lynch mob" had no tolerance or patience for the law to punish or capture someone.
The lynch mob would take the law into their own hands, and sometimes the law would turn their eyes away to allow the mob to work.
Lynching is mostly thought of hanging, but it can be crucification, torture, drowning, etc.

Lynching is a form of violence, usually murder, conceived of by its perpetrators as extra-legal punishment for offenders or as a terrorist method of enforcing social domination. It can include hanging & strangling & many other ways of killing.

as far as I know it was hanging but the person usually wound up strangling to death because the noose did not break the neck and only cut off blood and oxygen to the brain.

Lynching in itself is sentencing without a trial.
The sentence can be those you mention or anything an uncontrollable mob decides.
