LYNCH

by hanging him by the neck, they are usually said to lynch him.

FROM
THE
LETTER
“I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves; and I take these
differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust and envy for control
purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West
Indies and it will work throughout the South.
