... when public hangings were still a thing in America ... lower part of the gallow was for public whippings

The last hanging (not public) in America was in the 1990's IIRC but public hangings were still a thing in for a while in the 1900s.

You might be thinking of a pillory. Pillories and standalone whipping posts were usually more likely to be permanent fixtures than gallows. Prison gallows were usually permanent structures.

Unless it was just a post with a horizontal arm or a tree branch, gallows usually had a fairly complex, mostly open frame structure underneath to provide support for the platform to hold the executioner(s) along with, sometimes, any clergy. Unless it was a particularly rowdy town I don't think they

I had the lumber yard deliver 90 2x6x16s for my deck a couple weeks ago.
Had 7 that were just not usable so I opened the back glass on my suburban and slid them in.
Go to the yard and told them I needed to return the 7.
They asked where they were I told them they were in the back of my suburban.
They didn’t believe me till I took them out and showed them.
The suburban is my farm truck.
 
This evidence is much more solid than the rest of the shit all of the climate eugenecists try to pass off to everyone

Nothing to do with climate…

Correlates to the moral degeneration of society since they stopped stoning the Sodomites and the carpet munchers as demons and witches.

Remember that 100 percent of the people who confuse causation with correlation are dead.
