Pathos in "Lynch Law"

Someone familiar with the concept of pathos as discussed by Killingsworth would find it hard not to notice appeals of this concept within the text of "Lynch Law" by Wells-Barnett.  Wells-Barnett also employs appeals to logos in her text through the use of the tables reporting the number of lynchings per state as well as the distribution of supposed crimes of which those individuals were lynched for.  However, Wells-Barnett's appeals to logos come more into light through her discussion of the specific stories behind some of those numbers.  The details she briefly outlines of the brutal fate of a number of individuals attempts to appeal to the morality of the reader.  In describing the progression of lynching throughout history to become more and more inhumane over time Wells-Barnett I think is trying to demonstrate the need for the changing of the "unwritten law."  By appealing to the emotion of the reader in these ways I believe Wells-Barnett is positioning her readers as participants in national identity.  By starting the paper with the word "OUR" and attempting to place blame on the country as a whole she is linking the readers to the identity of the country that has been created, one where lynching is allowed.
