What was punishment and school in puritan times like?
Schools were harsh and austere places in puritan times (17th century) with severe corporal punishments for misbehaviour or failure to learn lessons. Corporal punishment usually took the form of birching (i.e. flogging with a birch rod) on the bare buttocks. A child to be punished would be placed over a 'flogging block' or 'birching horse', or sometimes 'horsed' (mounted 'piggy back' style astride the back of a fellow pupil). The child would then be birched until his or her buttocks were a mass of raw wealed, and bloodied flesh. The puritan's belief in frequent corporal punishment for children had its roots in the Bible Old Testament and that to 'spare the rod' was to spoil the child.
What is the difference between capital punishment and corporal punishment?
"capital punishment is the death sentence, you get a lethal injection for a horrible crime. corporal punishment is getting spanked or something..." Oh my God...seriously? Being "spanked" is NOT a corporal punishment. That is a child being disciplined for doing something they should not being doing. And as long as there are no bruises or worst, it is not illegal or harmful to a child. Capital Punishment IS the death sentence including-but limited to-hanging, electrocution, or a lethal injection. Before and around the 1700s, there were a lot more ways of execution, but since the Eighth Amendment was ratified to have more "humane" ways of putting an offender to death, there are only hanging (in one or two states now, electrocution (which I believe may only be done in Texas now), and lethal injection which is mainly done in the states that still have the death penalty. Corporal Punishment is no longer legally used in the U.S. or in most countries. It is purposely inflicted bodily harm including whipping, cutting off a body part, being burned, etc. It was mainly exercised in Europe and in public to show power for the King/Queen and to keep people from committing crimes. It was never used to embarrass or shame the offender, but to keep them from a repeat offense and to set them on a positive path. (Criminal Justice Major)
