As technology improved it became seen as a more humane alternative to death by hanging or by firing squad.
People were hanged for supposedly being a witch, or not going along with the law. Hanging back then was just like getting put in the electric chair. ouch that would hurt alot and the electric chair haha
A man named Harold Pitney Brown invented the electric chair, after writing a book about a boy touching a telegraph wire then dying from the electrical curent. He then later got hired to invent the electric chair to fight in the war of currents. ( Altering Current, and Direct Current )
Yes, they still do use it in some states but it is combined with another method as well, thus giving the prisoner a choice. For example Tennessee uses the chair and lethal injection. Others use the chamber and the firing squad. Very few still use hanging.

The electric chair has been used as a method of execution since its introduction in the late 19th century. It is estimated that around 4,000 people have been executed by electric chair in the United States. However, the exact number may vary due to differing records and the chair's use in various states over time. Its use has declined significantly, with many states opting for lethal injection instead.

Yes, Georgia used the electric chair as a method of execution until 2000, when it was replaced by lethal injection as the primary method. The electric chair was introduced in Georgia in 1924 and was used until it was deemed less humane compared to lethal injection. However, the electric chair remains an option for inmates who choose it over lethal injection.
Big Electric Chair was created in 1967.
