Who invented the noose?

The noose, as a type of knot, does not have a single inventor, as it has been used in various forms across different cultures for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, with various types of knots being utilized for fishing, hunting, and other practical purposes. The specific design known as the hangman's noose became associated with executions in medieval Europe, but it evolved from earlier knot-tying practices. Overall, the noose is a product of collective human ingenuity rather than the invention of a single individual.


How did the south justify their use of slaves?

The southern states justified their use of slavery in many ways. They claimed that White people were superior, and that God had created Blacks below Whites to be used as their slaves. They also said that Black people were ignorant, lazy, and unintelligent and therefore needed to be controlled by White masters. They claimed that they were actually doing the Black people and the economy a favor, by saying that Black people could not support themselves and would become beggars. This reasoning is obviously very flawed and disgusting today, but back then not many questioned it. (White) Children were raised thinking that Blacks below Whites was just natural and correct.


How many British convicts sent were to American colonies before 1776?

About 50,000 British convicts were sent to American convicts between 1718 and 1776. The first legislation to allow transportation of convicts was declared in a Statute in 1579 "For the Punyshment of Rogues, Vagabons and Sturdy Beggars'. However very few were transported, effectively as a form of time llimited exhile. After 1660 the pace increased with about 7,000 transported between 1660 and 1718. All the later convicts were in effect time limited slaves. for either 7 or 14 years. As such it was in the interest of the "white slave" owners to maximise their econimic return. This meant that the convict were treated very harshly with about half of them dying in servitude.
