Lynching ended for the most part everywhere except the South by the 1920's. After that 95 percent of all lynchings occurred in the South. Lynching did not really fade away until after 1950 when the Civil Rights Movement started in strong force.

Lynchings stopped because the people that got caught doing it often recieved the death penalty.

Because it was considered inhumane, and supposedly the electric chair was a more suitable form of execution.
