There have been many controversy's on where the word "lynching" came from. To be quite honest, no one really knows where this word came from. Although there have been rumours that a man name William Lynch had created a speech that he gave to whites over 300 years ago to help the whites "control" their slaves. This speech has been picked apart by historians as they say many words in the document wouldn't have existed or would have been used for another meaning.

Lynching has been around for thousands of years. There have been historical accounts of mobs lynching for as long as there have been historical records kept.
