Forty lashes for committing adultery? Children taken from their
parents for being unruly? Loss of an ear - or even your life -- for
stealing? These were the harsh punishments doled out for such
crimes in Colonial America during the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. Learn what happened to horse thieves and Sabbath
breakers or people engaging in idleness in the thirteen original
colonies. Accompanied by 30 postcard images, more than twenty-five
"crimes" are covered in this view of law and justice in the 1600s
and 1700s. It'll make you appreciate that you live in the
twenty-first century.
