According to the site indicated, the US averaged 17 lynchings per year in the mid to late 1920s. That number increased to 21 in 1930 and 28 in 1933 and then to 20 in 1935. Most of the lynching happened in southern states but there were some publicized lynchings by mobs in Marion, Indiana, Maryville, Missouri, and San Jose, California. There was some fear that lynching would increase and expand outside of Dixie, but after 1935, the number of lynching decreased and an average of 6 persons per year were lynched between 1936 and 1940.
