In 1789, receiving fifty lashes was a form of corporal punishment often used for various offenses, particularly in the military or by judicial authorities. This severe punishment was intended to inflict pain and humiliation as a deterrent against wrongdoing. The act of whipping was seen as a way to maintain discipline and order within society. Such punishments reflected the harsh legal and social norms of the time, emphasizing physical punishment over rehabilitation.
