During the Revolutionary War, loyalists in the
Virginia backcountry periodically conspired
against the Revolutionary authorities. Colonels
Charles Lynch, James Callaway, and other militia
officers and county justices formed extralegal
courts to punish them, which were “not strictly
warranted by law.” “Lynch’s Law,” or lynching, as
such punishment has been called, did not at first
include hanging. According to local tradition,
accused loyalists were tied to a large black walnut
tree here at Lynch’s home, Green Level, and whipped,
not hanged. In contrast with the lynchings that
began the next century, legally appointed officials
meted out “Lynch’s law” mostly with fines and
jail terms. Later, the Virginia General Assembly
passed acts protecting Lynch and his associates
from prosecution for their activities.
At New London, Patrick Henry made one of his most famous speeches. John Hook, a Tory, brought suit for two steers impressed for the American Army in 1781. Henry, the opposing counsel, so pictured the sufferings of the Patriots in that critical year and their joy at Cornwallis’s surrender, and so ridiculed Hook, that the case was laughed out of court.
