"The Truth About Lynching and the Negro in the South" by Winfield H. Collins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text confronts the issues of lynching, particularly in the context of the Southern United States, and it aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the treatment of Black individuals during this tumultuous period. The book is driven by the author's perspective on race relations and the complexities of justice and punishment in the post-Civil War South. At the start of the work, Collins provides a historical overview of lynching, noting its roots during the colonial period when it often involved punishment that was less severe than today's understanding. He details how the term evolved to mean extrajudicial killings, especially of Black individuals, and discusses various social factors contributing to the increase of lynching in the years leading up to the Civil War. The opening chapters indicate that Collins seeks to unravel myths about lynching and portray a narrative grounded in his views on race, social dynamics, and the perceived moral and criminal failings of the Black population during that time. His argument seems aimed at justifying the historical context of lynching within a broader socio-political discourse.
