A hangman’s knot is a type of noose used for executions by hanging. It is a simple knot to tie, but it is very effective at causing death. The knot is created by making a loop in the end of a rope and then passing the other end of the rope through the loop. The knot is then tightened around the neck of the person being hanged. When the person’s weight is applied to the rope, the knot tightens and causes the person to suffocate.
Hangman’s knots have been used for centuries to execute criminals. In the United States, hangman’s knots were used to execute criminals until the late 19th century. The last person to be hanged in the United States was Charles Rodman Campbell, who was executed in 1909.
