Early American Hanging System - This is the first publication of a photograph of this form of execution. In frontier America, building a gallows to hang the condemned man was a lot more work than simply “stringing him up.” It also gave friends and family of the murder victim a good measure of retribution. Not snapping the person up quickly meant that the condemned would strangle slowly. If the men got tired or wanted to make the culprit suffer all they had to do was lower him to the ground for a while. This circa 1870 photograph was taken in front of a Western jail. The rope was looped around the branch to provide the men more leverage than simply letting it hang. This is a form of suspension hanging. In modern forms, a weight is attached to the rope and the weight dropped by a pulley system or simply moving it off a platform shooting the condemned upward with a quick snap. Hanging became a preferred method of execution in most countries as it was cleaner than the blood and gore of beheading. Until the end of the 19th century, it was used in Great Britain, Australia, Austria, Canada, Czechslovakia, Hungary, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, and South Africa. The total number of civilian executions in Great Britain between 1735 and 1964 totaled 10,9035, of which 557 were women. In the United States from the early 1660s and up to 1996, an estimated 13,000 men and 505 women were hanged, a much lower per capita than Great Britain.
