The first death penalty dates as far back in the 18th century B. C. During the early days in Britain 222 crimes were punishable by death penalty; this includes stealing, cutting a tree illegally, and robbing. Due to the exaggeration of the counted crimes, death penalty was later cut to 100 punishable crimes between the years 1823-1837. The usual forms of execution back then were hanging, crucifixion, drowning, impaling, beating to death, and being burned alive.
America’s death penalty was greatly influenced by Britain’s death penalty. This happened when European settlers came to the new world. In 1608, the first recorded execution in America happened in Jamestown colony of Virginia. The victim was Captain George Kendall who was executed for being a spy for Spain. During the early days laws constituting the sentence of death penalty varied from colonies to colonies.
