Date: September 5th, 2012 7:43 PM The surviving citizens sounded the alarm. Every able-bodied man was pressed into service, and appeals were made to governors of surrounding colonies. The militia pinned down the rebels in the woods of northern Manhattan. The leaders of the uprising committed suicide, and the rest, starving, surrendered. |

A gibbet /ˈdʒɪbɪt/ is any instrument of public execution (including guillotine, executioner's block, impalement stake, hanging gallows, or related scaffold), but gibbeting refer to the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of executed criminals were hung on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals. In earlier times, up to the late 17th century, live gibbeting also took place, in which the condemned was placed alive in a metal cage and left to die of thirst. As well as referring to the gibbet as a device, the term gibbet may also be used to refer to the practice of placing a criminal on display within one.[1] This practice is also called "hanging in chains".[2]

2. This was a peacetime societal institution. It can't be a war crime.
Of course slavery was a horrible thing to do to people but you are also dumb. |

At least one slave child describes witnessing this scene and never forgetting the "hell". He describes rape too. This went on for centuries.
I don't think there is anything worse than the experience of the American slave. is it better to suffer a year of starvation and death versus a lifetime of torture, which may or may not lead to the same horrible end? |

Slaves in America were too valuable to work till death, for instance. They had to be kept healthy enough to keep on working |

Some of the most prestigious old-line African families actually made their fortunes in slavery. |

besides, like it or not, a statute of limitations really does apply here. |

But by all means, if you want to sue descendants of a slave-owner who have a sizable estate, go right ahead. I wonder why more haven't done this. |
