		According to the speech’s preface, Master Lynch was concerned enough with the fortunes of his slave-holding brethren in the American colonies to give a speech on the bank of the James River explaining how to keep unruly servants disunited.
		Lynch was an exception to this practice, much of the text of his “speech” is anachronistic.
		In popular citations, Lynch has also been – inexplicably – credited with the term “lynching” which would be odd since the speech promises to provide slave-holders with non-violent techniques that will save them the expense of killing valuable, if unruly, property.

	Willie Lynch: Why African Americans Have So Many Issues (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Willie Lynch Hoax lt;br /gt;What some historians have had to say about this hoax: lt;br /gt; Its really sad that so many African-Americans not only beleive this "urban legend" (to put it in decent language), but that so many seem not to care that it is not really true.
		Lynch thinks about lt;br /gt;dividing the slaves, he forgets the division that was most obvious to a West-Indian planter: nationality--both African lt;br /gt;ethnic divisions--Akan, Ibo, Mandingo and American divisions between so-called new Negroes [native Africans] lt;br /gt;and those born in the New World.
		Still, if there had been a William Lynch whose word was so valued that he should deliver such a short speech in person rather than in writing, then certainly his speech would have been reprinted and commented upon in the local newspapers.

	Black Ice :: The Death of Willie Lynch :: Koch Records
		The Willie Lynch speech of 1712 was supposedly delivered on the banks of the James River by a British slave-owner seeking to help quell problems with slave revolts and wide-spread unrest in the new world.
		He proposed a no-fail program to indoctrinate slaves, ensuring that they will be "self-refueling" and "self-regenerating." However, the authenticity of this document is uncertain, and it seems more likely that Lynch was actually the Virginia landowner who authored the William Lynch Act.
		Still, the harshness and disrespect accorded to fl men and women in the speech is a testament to the inhumane period of American history that was slavery, a centuries-long system in which its effects still resonate today and can especially be seen in professional sports and entertainment.

	Lynching information - Search.com
		Lynching is a term loosely applied to various forms of violence, usually murder, conceived by its perpetrators as extra-legal punishment of offenders by a summary procedure, ignoring, or even contrary to, the strict forms of law, notably execution, or used as a terrorist method of enforcing social domination.
		Lynch law is frequently prevalent in sparsely settled or frontier districts where government is weak and officers of the law too few and too powerless to enforce law and preserve order.
		The word lynching originally designated any sort of summary justice, especially by flogging for reformatory purposes with more or less disregard for its legality, or the infliction of minor punishments without recourse to law; the term Lynch mob -for a group of private persons who collectively practice lynching- is attested from 1838.

		The term "lynch law" came in to general use as a loosely employed description of efforts to maintain the established order either by the use of actual lynchings against those who would change it, or even their mere threat, which often proved sufficient to silence activists and critics.
		An alternative theory of origin arises from a text called the William Lynch Speech, alleged to have been written in 1712, and attributed to one "William Lynch", a Caribbean planter and slave owner.
		Another suggestion is that it came from Lynchs Creek, South Carolina, where summary justice was also administered to outlaws; some writers even attempted to trace it to Ireland, or to England.

		The hearers of a speech would have no need for such a preamble: they are there and then, and it is not so clear that this was being spoken for a later printing.
		It is, however, useful to encourage a later reader to place the speech in a time and place, and the florid style fits a contemporary, though usually false, expectation for florid speech by speakers of the time.
		This omission gives rise to another problem: why a speech on such a topic, and given by someone ostensibly imported by ship for the purpose of giving it, would be given to an open riverside assembly, and not in a house or meeting room.
